Sarah Palin 1 minute ago on Hannity

“we’re underdogs”

“her comments are motivating”

“makes us work that much harder to connect wih the electorate”

Friday’s Washington Post carried an ad from PBS touting their two TV debate moderators: “Objective. Impartial. Independent. The NewsHour’s Jim Lehrer and Washington Week’s Gwen Ifill bring PBS’s tradition of integrity to the most important conversations in America – so you can make up your own mind.”

Okaty its PBS EVERYONE knows they lean to the left, sometimes so far they fall over themselves...

Ifill should do the right thing and recuse herself. That said she should have done it when her name was first mentioned. She is a shameless, unabashed Obama supporter with no business - NO BUSINESS - faking a role as a remotely objective party.

But to question her is racist, right?

For example, she pressed Cheney to attack Democratic nominee John Edwards personally: "President Bush has derided John Kerry for putting a trial lawyer on the ticket. You yourself have said that lawsuits are partly to blame for higher medical costs. Are you willing to say that John Edwards, sitting here, has been part of the problem?"

Now I grant your premise that Miss (Mrs?) Ifill should be declared ineligible to 'moderate' a debate -- given her clear-cut support for one side of the debate. However, the question she posed to Cheney, above, seems pretty fair to me. Because frankly, John Edwards, 'sitting here', was a big part of the 'problem'. I suppose Mr. Cheney was too polite to say so, but I rather liked the fact that Miss/Mrs Ifill invited Mr. Cheney to whack the erstwhile ambulance chaser upside the head...

Jim Lehrer (PBS, D): "Ifill is the best, most impartial, moderator EVER."

He/she who phrases the question wins the debate.

McCain has had trouble with the base of the party, he is my Senator and even I have not voted for him isince he first ran as a congressman. I only sent $ to the campaign after he selected Sarah Palin.

I have testified many times as an expert wittness, and if I had any…ANY conflicts of interest it was my duty and responsibility to recuse myself. THAT IS PROFESSIONALISM… to stay on, as Ifill will do, shows a total disregard for professionalism.

McCain is just being the fool I’ve seen for 20 plus years in Arizona.

Pray that Gov. Palin can pull McCain’s cheastnuts out of the fire.

Here is something I would like to know...

DID OBAMA KNOW she was writing a book about him? Did she do interviews?

This could work out to OUR advantage:

If Gwen Ifil does NOT do a fair and evenhanded job, it will be VERY CLEAR that she was in the tank for ObamabinBiden.

The media, Fox for one, are already pointing out Ifil’s COMPROMISED situation and if she does go leftwing on Palin, it will be pointed out quite easily.

Ifill has done what a moderator should never do and that is make herself the object of attention rather than those debating. Every questions she asks will be picked apart as to whether or not it was fair. And if Palin doesn’t do as well as we hope she will, then there’s someone GOP apologists can pin blame on.

I hope she isn't going to be like Carole Simpson in the 1992 debate.

There’s seemingly no end in sight for biased PBS moderators, since Republican debate negotiators keep accepting them, allowing PBS to suggest that decision endorses the false notion of their objectivity and impartiality.

Anyone else see a basic flaw in "our elected repubs" having a lack of balls, or is it just me?
