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.
“The McCain campaign should say replace Ifill or no debate.”
McCain already used up his “I wont debate” card for the season.
McCain also smoked Obama in Saddleback and has repeatedly invited Obama to town halls. No takers. Obama can only survive in the stilted greenhouse of liberal news rooms.
“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?”
Palin should use the debate to go after Obama. That’s what VPs do. The media will be focussed on trying to bring her down a notch, but all she needs to do is say:
“Leftwing community activist helped ACORN sue bankers to relax lending rules. It was relaxed lending rules that led to the housing bubble and is hurting us now. When is was time in 2005 to reform Fannie Mae, McCain was there calling for regulation changes, while Obama was getting more money from Fannie Mae than anyone in COngress except Chris Dodd. We dont need any lectures from Obama on what cause this crisis, it was his close friends and supporters who are responsible. Putting Obama in charge now is like promoting an arsonist to fire chief.”
FIRE will start coming out of the ears of the journalists and Biden at this.
Palin totally has the guts unless McCain insists as top of the ticket that she turn belly crawling coward and total pussy which is soooooo not her that I would hope she either tells McCain to blow it out his butt or just goes ahead and does what needs doing...
