Still, some observers noted that Lehrer's questions largely focused on negative aspects of Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq - while avoiding Sen. Kerry's waffling on the issue, not to mention the top Democrat's long record of opposing measures to strengthen U.S. intelligence and national security.

Everyone on the planet except a few headhunters on the upper Amazon knows that Lehrer would not be the head "news" man at the most liberal network this side of the BBC if he were not a flaming left winger. If I had been in charge of Bush's debate planning team I would have refused to accept Lehrer as moderator.

The GOP debate planners in 2008 ought to do a better job of picking the moderators.
