Joe Biden set to win veep debate

Gwen Ifill will be “moderating” the Vice-Presidential Debate tonight. While normally I would not be surprised to find a liberal leaning journalist in this position, I do have a major concern.

I was doing some research on the debate and just wanted to find out more about Ms. Ifill. This is a very accomplished journalist with a notable career of over 30 years. She is the moderator and managing editor of Washington Week and senior correspondent of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Before coming to PBS, she was chief congressional and political correspondent for NBC News, and had been a reporter for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, and Boston Herald American.

Does anyone else see the pattern here?

Now for the really shocking fact about Ms. Ifill: She has a book scheduled to be released in early 2009. Guess what it is called…

“The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama”


Age of OBAMA???

So, based on the title alone, I think we can assume that Ms. Ifill would benefit financially, in terms of sales of her book, if Barack Obama were to win the general election.

Just how fair, balanced and unbiased will she be moderating the veep debate?

Below are her comments from the floor of the RNC Convention following Governor Palin’s speech:


Again, just how fair will she be when she not only has a book that will sell more if Obama wins but also when she already has a biased perspective of Governor Palin?

Will questions include the following?

Senator Biden, who has the best chance of being the best president, Senator McCain or Obama?

Governor Palin, who do you think you are to mock Barack Obama?

Senator Biden, does your many years of service and experience matter in the VP position?

Governor Palin, are you a wife first, or a mother first?

But should she be replaced as moderator, who will be the replacement? Who in the MSM is not biased, one way or the other? The majority of journalists lean left with a few that lean to the right. There really isn’t any press rep in this country that is unbiased.

There has been much ado about how Joe Biden is going to keep the kid gloves on for Palin but will attack McCain. But now I am wondering if Palin will be able to attack Biden or Obama without having the moderator gear questions to make her look bad in doing that.

So, what to do…

Sarah Palin is going to have to be majorly on her game in this debate. She will HAVE to be the barracuda she is known to be, even challenging whoever the moderator may be.

I may not have stated it before too much, but I am really beginning to believe that this election is totally rigged to elect Barack Obama as president.

May God’s will be done.

And the hypocrisy continues...

And the hypocrisy continues...

I read about sexism at Michelle Malkin’s blog.

Well, after listening to a local radio broadcast and to Glenn Beck’s radio show today, the attacks are beginning on Sarah Palin.

And the surprising thing is that they are making statements against things that they tend to argue for.

I have heard the sexual references and the chauvinistic remarks… FROM DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!

Furthermore, on Beck’s program I heard two calls from WOMEN who expressed “concern” about Palin’s ability to handle the job of Vice President while maintaining her responsibility as a wife and mother, and as a mother of a special needs child.

How ridiculous!

Democrats saying disparaging things about a career woman? What’s next? Are they going to start expressing concern about federal dollars being spent of feminine hygiene products?

Get over it, libtards! Your hypocrisy seems to grow exponentially with your ignorance!

McCain-Palin 2008

It's been confirmed by the McCain camp that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been picked as John McCain's running mate.

I think that this is actually a very smart move in terms of a national election.



However, I am concerned about a few things…. Even beyond some of the controversy she is currently facing in Alaska (Thanks, Syrin).

Well, about that controversy. I wonder how accurate it is since she is now the pick. I can’t imagine that the McCain team would pick someone with a bunch of potentially damaging baggage knowing that the campaign could be derailed.

Beyond that, I am wondering about this choice being able to shun off the “inexperienced” retorts from the Obama camp. It would be logical for the dems to play that card since it was rightfully played to them.

I am also concerned about her ability to stand up to Biden in the debate. Truth is truth and facts won’t lie… and what I have seen from Palin’s communication skills is impressive. But Biden’s experience, albeit liberal, may mean more to the electorate.

My main concern is that Sarah Palin is 100% valuable up to and on Election Day. The elements she brings to the ballot are overwhelmingly great for McCain. But is she truly the one to be ready to assume the Oval Office should the need arise?

Over all, I give the McCain camp and Governor Palin herself a thumps up!

Is he going to be the maverick again?

John McCain is set to announce his VP pick today at 12 noon Ohio time. Most of the speculation is around Sarah Palin right now. This is based on a plane that came in from AK where the pilot gavea possibly could be ID to Palin and her family.

Will this be the new McCain/Palin campaign ad?

Obama's bottom 10 list of VP cadidates

Somehoiw, I have the feeling that Kermit the frog or even Spngebob would get a better shot at it than any of these.
