Like I said below I wish they would have and that Obama had agreed to it because then they wouldn't have had this cheap excuse ready. I say give all this stuff back to the League Of Women Voters.

The fact remains that by the time Ifill was chosen to be the moderator the book was available for pre-order at Amazon. They're going to reach for any excuse to try to make this woman seem like she got picked on.

Do they not google? But whatever. Maybe they should have asked that the moderator be changed. And let's say that the Obama campaign agreed to that. In preparing for a debate, you are often preparing nearly as much for the "judge" or moderator as for the opponent. Both campaigns probably have a pretty good idea of what types of questions she is likely to ask, how she is likely to ask them. Palin and Biden have undoubtedly watched videotapes of Ifill moderating the 2004 debate between John Edwards and Dick Cheney. By changing the moderator, you're throwing everyone a curveball, and catering to the candidate who is better able to adapt on the fly. Which, most likely, is not going to be Sarah Palin. Trust me, I think that would have messed them up even worse. Besides taking away that handy excuse. not so sure that is true... i might have misread this but it implies otherwise. tell me if i am wrong. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081002/D93I484G3.html
