Need some help with an observation at Saddleback

[rufus dog]

I attended the 'forum' and was intrigued by a group that was sitting across the aisle. There were roughly 15 people (mostly 25 to 30) that had laptops. One had an ABC New sticker on her laptop so I figured they were live bloggers. A few were typing away prior to the event then most were heads down during Obama's portion. Immediately after the Obama segment all but two of them got up and left, then during the first commercial break in the McCain segment the other two left.

I have my suspicions but would like to hear other theories.

1. Programmers

downloading instructions into the McCain

2. Well, I doubt they were feeding him questions or answers because...

you could do that from anywhere because there was a TV feed. So why do it in public.

3. A lie works best when it's done in plain sight. Like Election Theft

4. Lets just say if it was my job to set up the cheat, I would do it from a tv feed.

Then send messages to his blackberry or iphone.

6. Good point.

5. If they were live bloggers

They wouldn't have left before McCain.

No need to document only the Obama responses, it was an event with a full transcript available and taped.

Could they have been RW bloggers getting feedback on Obama's responses?

7. Could be anyone, not necessarily oppo. People need someone to tell them what to think.

I wonder how many of them commented on how Crash's gun gaurd did the opposite of what Crash proposes for Iraq, and Iran, and S. Oesetia, etc. The gun gaurd disobeyed his country and was kind to the enemy.

8. could be somebody like an AP writer who had responsibility for only the first half of the

session.
