3rd Presidential Debate Oct 15: Will either canidate wear a flag pin?

Settled as Yes

Obama did, McCain did not.

Background:

Early in the election Obama was criticized for being unpatriotic, for refusing to wear a flag pin, and for refusing to pledge allegiance to the flag.
McCains campaign slogan is "Country First". He could show that and try and make himself look like more of a Maverick by wearing a flag pin.
They both have reasons to wear a flag pin, but will they? Neither has before in the last debate. With the critical moment of this election coming up, will they go all out in trying to defend there reputations and wear a pin?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

@Deelilley Sorry but that image was photoshopped. Neither one of them wore a flag pin last time.

"Rumor has it that the Democrats are also already in the process of installing tiny microfiber antennas in Joe Biden’s hairpiece that are capable of rendering speech-correcting shock-waves to the gaffe-prone VP candidate just in time for next week’s VP debate with Gov. Sarah Palin."
