Meh....Valerie Jarrett could be hosting it and it would not matter.
|
|
Lol.
Every single day something new and hilarious comes out that will be perfectly ignored.
|
|
I have faith in Ryan to lay the smack downeth on Biden no matter the moderator nor the attempted tarps set by them.
|

The press isnt even trying to be impartial anymore are they?
Well Romney had better get used to it because if he wins, the press is going to dog every action and decision of his. I think Roms can handle it though. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The people in power or powerful positions or media are becoming a closed loop. Totally incestous. This shit should not be surprising at all.
|
|
No possible conflict there.
Move along peasants nothing to see here..... |
|
This should be no surprise to anyone. The inside the beltway crowd all swim in the same social circles.
I have this fantasy. Someday I hope to see a Republican president, during a White House press conference, say "Sergeant escort that reporter off the grounds smartly." Then said reporter get dragged by the collar and tossed roughly onto Pennsylvania Ave and ordered never to return. One can only hope. |

"Mr. Ryan, why do you hate the American people so much?"
"Mr. Biden, why are you and President Obama so awesome?" |
|
I think most here underestimate Jethro Biden. He can lie faster than Ryan can shoot the lies down. His 30 year career has been built on it.
|
|
|
Her ties only date back to 1991. Everyone else in the press is much closer.
|
|
Is this really news?
Julius Genachowski was a classmate of Obama's and notes editor at Harvard Law Review when Obama was it's President. They married in 91 and divorced in 97, two years before Raddatz joined ABC News.

I don't have a problem with it. She isn't a practicing lawyer and may never have taken a course in ethics wherein mundane things like disclosure and conflicts of interest. Surely, she disclosed that he had attended her wedding and that her former husband had a political appointment by Mr. Obama.
If there is a problem, it was caused by the Republican camp who, understanding her background and her disclosures, have no problem with her being a moderator. You have to understand that the Republican camp knew all this and will use it only if Ryan doesn't do well in the debate. |

ABC spokesman says almost the entire Harvard Law Review attended the wedding. Daily Caller asks for names of those on Harvard Law Review that attended for verification when they know 70 people were on HLR. They get one name from ABC. They ask for names again, no response.
Obama appoints the ex-husband to FCC? I see no problem here as long as the moderator gives a public announcement at the beginning of the debate stating that Obama attended her wedding in the past. Full disclosure and all that. I see commentators on news shows making those announcements frequently. She will do the right thing. |

I'll go with 'Most Americans are too stupid to understand why this would be a problem'.

What would be most awesome is if she starts badgering Ryan, he simply asks her "Wasn't Barrack Obama a guest at your wedding? Mmmhmm....OK, please STFU"

Sounds like she will be fair and impartial. Totally. |
|
GOP should ask her to recuse herself: "Have you no decency, ma'am? Have you no shame?"
ETA: The questions will probably be like: "Sen Ryan, how do you respond to all of the lies told by your running mate?" "VP Biden, why is Obamacare so misunderstood and why is it so great?" |
|
Just remember Ryan's response to the reporter in Detroit, he can hold his own and does not back down
