Look, it's obvious that Ifill has some vested interest in OBAMA. She has not interest in Biden. It doesn't matter if Obama looses or wins..the book will still sell because it's about the race lines being broken in politics..not how great and mighty and powerful Obama is
This is just a sad attempt for the McCain camp to downplay any expectations and it gives the republican spin room ample ammunition in case she fucks up majorly. "She would have done a better job if there was a different moderator asking the questions. She did great considering that fact"
This isn't the first time (as so clearly defined above) that moderators have ties with candidates.. and I'd venture to say that it's more damaging to have a personal relationship with the candidate than having a vested interest in the candidate.. come to think of it.. WE ALL have a vested interest in the candidates.
..and this whole uneducated base thing.. I don't even want to comment on something so ignorant.
