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.
"At least she will have to be on her best behavior because she was outed nationally as in the tank for Obama." If she asks Palin a tough question, she's in the tank for the Democrats. If she doesn't, she's in the tank for the GOP. If I was in her position, I'd go ahead and ask the tough question. She's screwed either way. If Palin knocks the tough question out of the park, then the Governor can throw her hands in the air and proclaim "I'm out of here!" Reminiscent of George on Seinfeld.
I agree Red. We cant start wanking every time there is a bias noted (all the time). If we did that, we’d never get around to discussing the issues, only how we are the victims.
And she will have her opportunity tomorrow nite to earn the laudatory applause of everyone in her profession as well as every Obama supporter by shredding Sarah Palin and setting up as many gotcha opportunities as she can imagine and pull off in the time span of one debate. The weight of the leftwing journalistic world is on her shoulders, not to mention her own financial success, and I'm sure she will do her fellow traitors proud.
Agree.
If it gets bad enough Palin can just use her closing comment period to plug Ifill’s book for her.
I agree. Ifill’s presence plays right into our hands and she actually was a better moderator than Lehrer and Schieffer in 2004. If anything, it can work to Palin’s advantage.
