Many commented that Gwen Ifill was fair, balanced, even handed and honest
through out the debate.


Year, right. Like when she said "Care to defend Senator McCain's health
plan"?

I might allow as how she tried to be balanced, but simply failed.


Actually, Gwen was so careful to treat Palin with kid gloves, so as not
to be accused of bias against her, that Palin got a free ride. Palin's
response to a third of the questions was something like: Why gee-whiz
Glen, I don't think I want to answer YOUR question, so golly gee, I'll
just answer the question I want to answer. (To which Gwen smiled and
said nothing.) Or, dad-gummit, Gwenn, I don't really like your question
very much, so I'll spend my time with a little more campain talk. Did I
tell everyone how we love to sit around the kitchen table and try to
figure things out? And how I'm a real down-to-earth person?
