McCain Getting Hand Signals at the Debate???

Was Sen. John McCain getting signals from someone in the crowd at the first US presidential debate last night?

Remember the 2004 Bush/Kerry debates, when a suspicious bulge in the back of Pres. Bush's suit led to charges that he was receiving radio messages from aliens.

I have it on good authority from someone associated -- albeit loosley -- with the McCain campaign that someone in the crowd was flashing some kind of signals to the Republican Senator. It is the only possible explanation for all the squinting McCain did last night.

He was clearly gawking past the cameras and moderator Jim Lehrer into the crowd.

I am told by that same source that this is a photo of someone relaying semaphore to McCain on stage last night. The man claims he was just waving flags out of patriotism.

You be the judge!

As drudge would say, developing....
