I think Conservatives and Republicans need to get over this.

I watched debate and I think Ifill was fine. In fact, for a known partisan, I think she was better than almost anyone else in MSM.

Agree. I think she was well aware that she would be viewed as a partisan. She wasn’t great, but not bad either.

Ifill manipulated it so that Biden got the last word on every meaningful exchange. At one point I believe he had the last word on four question in a row. When Gov. Palin finished answereing a question Ifill delayed before beginning the next question allowing Sen. Biden to jump in with an extra response. In some cases he asked permission (which should have been denied) and in others he just did it. When Sen. Biden finished a response she immediately started the next question so that Gov. Palin would have had to interrupt to respond.

It's easier to win a debate when you always get the last word.

They were all leftest questions. No questions about Illegal aliens, no question about fighting Islamic Terrorist, no questions about socialism,or about language, borders, and culture.

I though the clock was not watch for Biden. He was allowed to run over and on occasion given two shots at a question and Palin got only one. I marked on a paper the sequence. Was real sh@@. If you can find a video of the complete debate, test it out.

I do too! She was fair and I didn’t see any partisanship!
