Gwen Ifill did superb job.

IMO She did a terrible job. The selection of questions, the wording, and her few follow-ups showed her bias. I found her question to Cheney about gay marriage to be reprehensible. There was no need to personalize. It was asked so that she could point to differences between the President and Cheney. Where was there a similar question for Edwards showing his differences with Kerry? Cheney won despite the fact that it was two against one.

Totally disagree. She did an outstanding job. Hard on both sides. Thought a couple questions were curious, but lets be fair, gay marriage is a big issue, and in fact it is a winner for the GOP so good to be brought up. The AIDS question was a stunner that had to have caught both by surprise. Much much better then Lehrer

Considering when we came into the debate we rightly expected Cheney to be ambushed by the partisan press, I think Gwen did a more than fair job. She asked Edwards tough questions Kerry NEVER got from Lehrer and was equally hard on Cheney. If the other moderators perform as Gwen did tonight, I won't have complaints.

I don't know what debate you were watching. Do you think she shouldn't ask any tough question to Cheney? She was equally tough and I was pleasantly surprised.
