5. I heard they were color coded for her Alaska debates. How pretty.

2. I don't believe so.

In every debate I've seen on a national level, there is blank paper and a pen AT the podium when they go in, to take notes AS their opponent is speaking if they wish, but they don't bring IN notes.

3. They always seem to immediately pull out some small paper(s)

and slap them on the podium, but I don't know officially,
legally, agreements-wise re the debate commission. The
trick is to not look like theyre relying on them. Also,
they write things down during the debate, especially when
the other person's speaking.

6. I thought it was a blank notepad that they came out and wrote on re what they didn't want to forget.

I don't remember anyone ever getting to bring notes.

Is this a closed-book or open-book debate?

9. Oh, maybe youre right, I didnt think of that.

7. I hope she does-I think she got her color-coded flash cards mixed up during the Couric interview

I think she mixed up her health care and bailout flash cards, hence that extraordinarily incoherent and nutty answer.

8. Some people should be allowed to have notes...
