Gwen Ifill - VP Debate Moderator

Thu, 10-02-2008 - 1:15am

Debate moderators were chosen in August.   If McCain camp had a problem with Ifill as moderator, they've had a looooong time to object.   No, Ifill will be one of many excuses they can use when Palin bombs.


Re: Gwen Ifill's book, one needs to look no further than the conservative Washington Times, which published an article about said book on JULY 23rd, long before either potential Veep had been selected. I do not know when Ifill was chosen to moderate this debate, but the fact of the matter is that any idiot in McCain's camp could have googled Gwen Ifill and received this information and had they thought it a "conflict of interest" requested another moderator two months ago.


To those saying the debate has been "fixed", well - um - the debate hasn't even taken place yet.  Hmmm, apparently you don't have much confidence in Sarah Palin.  You shoul dbe cheering her on instead of preparing for failure.


tsk tsk

As a HUGE critic of liberal media bias...I have to say that Gwen did a good job.

>>As a HUGE critic of liberal media bias...I have to say that Gwen did a good job. I didn't detect ANY bias in her questions or her attitude. My compliments to her!

I'm so glad to read this. I thought she did a marvelous job as well. You might want to tune into Washington Week or The News Hour on PBS. *smile* I truly believe that she is one of the finest journalists we have on television.

This is ludicrous... In a debate structured such as this one, each candidate has the opportunity to respond to the same question and to debate each other on the response given by the other party.


Your argument makes no sense whatsoever...

My argument makes complete sense, and it's ridiculous that I was defending it for an entire day. It' wasn't a prediction, and despite that Gwen was completely professional, I still believe that she had a conflict of interest and should not have been a moderator.
