I'm sure that this journalist has been on Meet the Press many times in the journalists round table discussion featured in the later half of the show. :hmm:

I think she will be pulled from this debate. McCain will not allow this bias woman or book to participate. I suspect this woman is so enamered with Obama, if he said the sun will not rise tomorrow she would believe it. So, will the questioning be different for Palin than Biden? You betcha!

Conservatives in this thread don't seem to be on the same page as John McCain. In an interview to Fox News McCain said she was a professional who will do an excellent job. I can't find a transcript yet on Fox but it was just on the tv.

Interesting....then again, might be a good move for McCain not to request this woman replaced. In other words, the media after the debate will say the cards were stacked in Bidens favor if Palin does poorly. Remember the "men" going after Hillary in the primaries? This might work to Palin interest. :hmm: Lately the media has been complaining Palin is not accessible and somehow sheltered. Perhaps they will say the same thing here if this woman is pulled

I watch PBS for the NOVA and History Detective stuff.

They should stay neutral and out of Politics.

No she wont be pulled. McCain is "not a partisan guy"

Whenever I see the show "oregon art beat," i say to myself " i can't believe my tax dollars are going to this!"

There's no money to fix the roads or fund police, but there's always money for oregon art beat.

You know, my local department of transportation office has had a dozen holes around it for the past 10 years. They only fix two, both of which cause their trucks to bounce when they back out of the parking lot. The others haven't caused them any problems, so they don't bother fixing them.

Just thought it was a little relevant...

As if it matters who the so called "moderators" are. It isn't a real debate on the issues, more of a collection of stump speeches, and is run like a business by the CPD, who takes donations from corporations and bans a possible 3rd party candidate from the discussion. It's a farce.

It matters very much whom the moderator is.

If you want to make both of them squirm, let Rush Limbaugh ask them questions. I'd pay to watch that debate! That would be very entertaining, he doesn't either of them.
