vp debate preview

[CF DolFan]

All attacking aside I think Frimp asked a legitimate question.  How would you feel as a Democrat if the moderator was someone who could profit from a Republican win, made disparaging remarks about the Democratic VP candidate, or just plain wrote a book on the postives of the election based on the Republican candidate?

So far the only answers I have seen or heard, even from Keith Oberman, are you should have known they were biased before. It's not like anyone is even disputing it.  This seems ludicrous to me but then again so do many things about politics and media.

We will see after the debate, but the format should be set up so both candidates answer the same questions. I don't see how that could be biased unless asking too tough a question for one candidate is somehow biased.

McCain's campaign should ask for a different moderator.  These things are all agreed to way ahead of time.  If he's unhappy, speak up now, if there's a conflict of interest.

Why do I get the feeling that McCain DOESN'T WANT to win this election? There were several times ghe could have drove the hammer into Obama's campaign and he misses it every time. You would think that the Palin pick would have him as the clear winner to the finish line but he keeps missing out on golden opportunities, such as what Dave said, asking for a different moderator.

Maybe this whole thing is fixed (wouldn't surprise me). It's playing out like a cheap straight to video movie.

It's funny how two people can see things completely different. I think a lot of people see the Palin pick as a huge mistake for McCain rather than something to make him a clear winner. She comes across dummer than Dan Quale which is quite the accomplishment.
