The setup will be familiar to people who watch stand up comedy. The comedian stands in a bare unadorned area. There is a wooden stool, a bottle or two of water. That's it.
Well, not quite: Hillary Clinton had a 8 ounce glass, half filled with water. About two minutes before Hillary came out to speak an aide came out with a water bottle and put additional water in the glass, bringing it up to 3/4. And Carly Florina had a big podium on the stage, which podium she ignored. She walked back and forth in front of it for her entire presentation.
I have no deep insight attached to this observation. There is no greater theme, the wooden stools are not a metaphor for anything special, there is no secret meaning implied in my presenting this observation. But I was looking through my photos and realized the pattern.
