Did anyone else notice the weird camera angles/shots?
Advertisements [?]
Did anyone else notice that on the split screen, Bush was a tad higher than Kerry, and his image was larger, making Kerry seem smaller?

Did anyone else notice that in the opening shot from behind Jim Lehrer, the one that showed the two candidates, Lehrer, and the stage, that the camera was at a slight angle behind Lehrer, making Bush slightly closer to the camera, and thus appear larger?

Did anyone else notice that Bush was on the right side of the screen, and that he is ALWAYS on the right side of the screen for debates? Does that mean his left profile is better? Or that he thought Kerry's right profile is worse?

Did anyone else notice that when Kerry & Bush met & shook hands at the beginning, that they seemed practically the same height, when in reality, Kerry is quite a bit taller than Bush? (Bush is only slightly taller than his daughters and Laura; Laura and Teresa are about the same height; Kerry is quite a bit taller than Teresa.)

All of the above intended to make Bush seem as big as Kerry? Could it have something to do with the fact that almost always the taller candidate wins? (Don't laugh. You know the Repubs are this manipulative. And having a psychological edge is always a good thing.) REMEMBER - FAUX was the network that controlled the cameras.
