I agree. Remove Ifill from the debate, if only to focus attention back on the two VP candidates, where the focus belongs.

Just saw a Campaign Carl interview with McCain on FNC. McCain says Ifill is a pro and he thought she would be ok as the Mod. in debate!

I am just damn tired of McCain turning the other cheek!

Rush just said this woman also because of her book has a financial stake in Obama winning.

PBS democrat party operatives (100% of the PBS Staff) lied and se Palin/McCain up.

But McCain says he sees no reason why Ifill would be unfair...

Let’s have Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh be the moderator for the next Presidential debate.

McCain never stood a chance.

I hate losing to the media all the time.

It is the most cut and dry case of conflict of interest in the media in a long time. Maybe happens more often then we know, but not as high profile. She needs to bow out for professional ethics reasons(if she has any).

I have not seen Gwen Ifill since she left NBC for PBS (back in the days when I could stomach watchin “Meet the Depressed” on Sunday mornings). She was clearly liberal back then in the tank for Algore in 2000. She should be removed but the liberal media has become so brazen with their support for Dims that they have lost all pretense of “objectivity”.

She won’t be removed but the word should get out about how she has no business profiting from this debate.

I agree. Gwen will be on a mission vs. Sarah.

The debate is supposed to be about the two debaters anyway. Notice how debates have increasingly become about the moderators?

Do we know who will moderate the last two debates? Maybe we should start looking into their history in this campaign too.

Ifill will be more fair than Brokaw, Couric, Gibson, Williams, Matthews, Olberman, Campbell Brown. I wouldn’t mind if they got Jim Lehrer to do another one. A conservative moderator will not be permitted.

I disgree. I hope Ifill stays as moderator.

At least she will have to be on her best behavior because she was outed nationally as in the tank for Obama. Palin can use it to her advantage. Any bias shown will be magnified now by her very presence. Huge advantage to Palin.

The McCain camp should threaten not to show up unless either Ifill steps down, or Obama agrees to a second vp debate on Fox with Brit Hume as moderator.

Whether or not this proves to be the “Age of Obama,” no one who has a financial interest in the outcome of the election -- as does PBS’ Gwen Ifill -- should be permitted to moderate any debate in the campaign season.

Yes, her behavior is indecent.

Has Ms. Ifill no shame? Has no one in the MSM the least bit of decency?

This should not engender a mere qualm or two: even the most brazen left-wing MSM outlets should be openly condemning this reprehensible behavior by Ms. Ifill.

The McCain campaign should say replace Ifill or no debate.

But they won't.

This should only continue if Sarah Palin outs Ifill at the very beginning of the debate right in front of everyone.

Palin should ask Ifill if she feels she can be even-handed even though she has a pro-Obama book scheduled for publication in early November, and whether that fact presents her with a conflict of interest.

Does Palin have the guts to do that? To start hitting back instead of being a punching bag for the likes of Couric and Gibson?

We'll see.
