Were The Junior Varsity Debaters Reading Their Answers To The Debate Questions?....

I happened to catch a little bit of this Junior Varsity debate and it sure looked to me that they all had cheat sheets that they were reading from. Some were better at it than others - but all glanced down at their podiums. By far the worst was Lindsey Graham. He couldn't keep his eyes focused frontwards at the camera. It was almost like he was reading everything he said.

I didn't think that they were allowed to have notes or cheat sheets - but then again this is Fox and it is a Repug debate - so I imagine everything goes.

It was almost like all of them had scripted comments that they had to deliver.
