Re: The Debate - Ifill
I have to say, I think she was excellent! She wasn't biased in the least. I thought she did a great job, and didn't deserve all the crap people gave her beforehand.

Re: Re: The Debate - Ifill
I don't think there'll be another peep about alleged bias from Ifill now (a) because she seemed very evenhanded as moderator, and (b) because Palin didn't tank and no one needs to make excuses for a bad performance.
I did have to yell at my radio this morning hearing one caller gripe about Palin having to "debate the moderator" whom he claimed was openly hostile toward Palin. Not sure which debate he was watching! (I shouldn't listen to call in shows, clearly.)
?
Ditto.?
I also thought all the questions were pretty much standard. Nothing really out of the box.
I may be biased because she asked my question from our E08 list yesterday (re: differences b/w them and their respective presidential candidates on policies)! So exciting, although Biden didn't really answer it at all, and Palin predictably mentioned drilling in ANWR.
I thought she was fair and I must ditto carolina.
On a side note, she looks spookily like my mother. Very wierd.
Who watched in 2004? She asked this fantastic, totally out of the box question about HIV among African American women. It was such an out of left field question, and it was fascinating watching both candidates struggle to answer it.
I really wish she had done one question like that again. Just some random question that they never in a million years would have prepared for. Just to see how they would have handled it.
I agree. I think because of all the controversy, Ifill felt like she had to use kid gloves in the debate. She let both Biden and Palin dodge some questions and didn't press for answers.
I think another moderator--one who wasn't perceived as biased going in--would have pressed a little more. I know I, as a viewer and voter, felt a little cheated.
I really like Ifill and was hoping for more last night. Like ESF mentioned above, she asked some interesting, out of the box questions in 2004 and I was letdown she didn't do that in this debate. I felt like the questions were really predictable.
She was fair and impartial as I expected her to be. I'm glad that there was no room given for criticism that she was biased toward Biden. I just wish there had been more "spark" in the questioning.
