Reply #17: Yeah, you would think the other candidates [View All]

would raise hell if Mitt had a coach on the sidelines feeding him lines. Unless they were doing it too?

This sounded like an actual whisper that got picked up by a microphone, unlike those hilarious Bush videos where his radio signal gets picked up by the local PA system and you can hear what they are telling him.

The candidates are really far from the audience and other people, so it seems really unlikely they would be able to hear a whisper, but Mitt has a reaction like he heard it. I'm guessing that his coach was in the audience, and one of the mics happened to catch him whispering into his radio prompter. I've been to see live TV shows like The Daily Show get taped, and they put microphones out over the audience to get crowd reactions (laughter, applause, etc.). Maybe one of these picked up the whisper?
