I agree that Gwen did a good job especially in comparison to Jim Lehrer's weak performance.

The moderator I am worried about is Bob Scheiffer in the final debate. I caught a portion of CBS news after the debate last night and he was bringing out the "pom pomS" and cheering Edward's performance while downgrading Cheney. Expect Scheiffer to lob softballs at Kerry all night long unfortunately.

I too have reservations of Bob Scheiffer. Lets see what happens....

I expect Schieffer to do the best job of the four. He knows Bush, both are from Texas, and Sheiffer's brother was an investor in the Texas Rangers together. Moreover, Bush appointed Schieffer to be our Ambassador to Australia.

Tom Schieffer was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Australia on September 29, 2001. He was nominated by President Bush on July 18, 2001 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on July 27, 2001.

John Thomas (Tom) Schieffer was born to John E. Schieffer and Gladys Payne Schieffer on October 4, 1947. His father was the managing partner of a construction company. His mother stayed home to rear the children. Ambassador Schieffer has one brother, Bob Schieffer, a journalist, who is the Chief Washington Correspondent for CBS News as well as the host for CBS's Face the nation. His sister Sharon Mayes, an educator, was a teacher, vice principal, principal, and administrator before retiring last year to consult for a local school district.

You and me too! Immediately following the 1st Bush / Kerry debate, the Media Research Center quoted him thusly:

... CBS's Bob Schieffer declared: "Whether you agree with him or disagree with him, you now know where John Kerry stands on what has happened in Iraq."

How can you trust someone who said that to be a moderator??
