msnbc's explanation

This official explanation seems dubious at best but it's important that as RP supporters we maintain balance and sensibility. At least be aware of what the offical excuse is:

Official explanation:
After reviewing the tapes, NBC determined that an open mic picked up a whisper from the audience. It is unclear who it is that says it, but it was not said by any of the candidates, was not heard in the hall and, more importantly, not heard by the candidates.

It's important to note that this isn't such a weird explanation once (as I explained at the top of this page) it becomes clear there WAS an open mic in the audience.

So where was the sound supposedly coming from?

An earpiece would have either been visible, or so far down in the ear canal that there is no way a lavalier microphone would have picked up the sound. If it was coming from a microspeaker in his collar or something similar, we would have been hearing it all night long, assuming it was loud enough for Romney to hear.

This just doesn't make sense.

2 options there.
1) crosstalk if the earpiece was wireless and an open mic was wireless.
2) romney's prompter was near an open mic

If romney had some sort of wire on him and was getting feeds he's damn good at it.

it's all concealed under his magic mormon underwear...

Does anybody know if someone is officially looking into this? I hope somebody like Raw Story goes into further analysis.

Is this being investigated?

It seems like it isn't. Fucking sucks. I'm sure if you took all the video footage from all the camera's you could find out real quick that nbc's story is bullshit.

and you would bet that based on... NOTHING.

If you're willing to pay enough I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to see that footage.
