I did some checking online to see what technology is out there and in my opinion it seems to support the idea that Bush could have worn a wireless earpiece and a some sort of receiver/sender to communicate w/ the earpiece.
I've always wondered if Bush had a device why didn't he wear it in the small of his back (were you can conceal an Uzi un-noticed) and what I found is that the wireless ear devices have a very short reception range, measured in the tens of centimeters.
A device worn where we suspect he had one would be within range but anything further would not.
The remote communication to transmit to the device worn on the back could be hundreds of meters away.
I am not an expert on this but everything we suspect seems to "fit" what you can easily find online.
I gotta go back to work.
Can some one find and post a link to the 32 pages of rules essentially written by the Bush campaign? I feel I vaguely remember there was something in the rules to prohibit the cameras from taking pictures of the candidates from the back. If I remember correctly, it seemed odd to read at the time but now it would make more sense.

This small wireless device is inserted into the ear canal and on your person you have the miniature sender unit, this transmits to the earpiece. The normal way to use this is that
on your person you would have a receiver from a 2 way radio or the receiver from a body wire set, the output from this is linked via the earphone socket to the sender unit which transmits to the wireless earpiece, enabling you to listen unnoticed to all the conversations your receiver is picking up.
