If you watch just after that it looks like he is unfolding something...then puts something in his right hand pocket. Its hard to see though because it is all blocked by the podium. Ill agree it does look like a hankie, and it does not change the outcome of the debate, it would however explain how he came up with some many statistics and numbers so quickly.

The fact they thought it was a big enough issue to address is more curious than anything else tarheelsunc Oct 2012 #1

I think at some point (after he wiped his lip), he put his hanky in his breast pocket. notadmblnd Oct 2012 #45

Does this theory sound "gossipy" to anyone else? BadgerKid Oct 2012 #20
Everybody take 2 sheets of printer paper and fold it in half 3 times. Now look at the video. hexola Oct 2012 #23

That's an awful thick hanky there Mitt Kingofalldems Oct 2012 #25
Looks like a lot less hanky there once he finally uses it... hexola Oct 2012 #26
Well, whoever dresses him probably puts it in the pants pocket folded only into 1/4s so it doesn't patrice Oct 2012 #31

Besides, fastidious guys like Romney don't put their hankies where common germs might get on. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2012 #30
That is the best place for a handkerchief, so you don't have to break your train of thought patrice Oct 2012 #32
