Are we going to have audio?" "Vamos a tener audio?"
Reporters who didn't speak Spanish were already anxious about the translation devices that didn't quite fit in our ears. (Porque soy de California, yo hablo un poquito Espanol.)
But 90 seconds before the forum began tonight, the Media Room had no sound - not in Spanish, English or French. Nada.
Spanish- and English-speaking reporters in the room erupted in a panic, sending University of Miami staff scrambling to try and fix the feed. What most reporters heard for the first 16 minutes of the debate was static - both from the closed television feed and from the translation device.
Even Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) seemed to have trouble, yanking the earpiece from his ear mid-way through his answer to a question on Iraq.
Spanish-speaking reporters (and there are many here) heard only English once the audio feed was adjusted, and everyone is complaining of a headache from the static.
"I should just drive home so I can actually do my job," a local reporter whined.
As if everyone's blood pressure was not high enough, the video signal from the stadium down the hallway from the Media Room kept failing.
"This is totally ridiculous," a Miami Herald scribe complained.
