This woman is goofy..

[Postman]

She's mischaracterizing the facts.

[Occulus]

1. I don't like this "moderator" at all

there's just something about her that rubs me wrong...

[oldsneakers]

6. I just emailed PBS about her

Something stinks with several of her questions!!!!

[KlatooBNikto]

16. She is a good friend of Condi Rice.Does that explain your problem?

[SoCalDem]

17. Lots of links here regarding Condi & Gwen..

Gwen's not on "our" side) to be sure.. She "tries" very hard to appear even-handed..fails miserably:(

11. She's horrible. Can't even keep track of her own questions.

What a waste of a debate. If they had a good moderator up there we would have had a much better debate.

[Brucey]

2. Agreed

She asks questions that reinforce the repug line

[kikiek]

3. She is very ineffective. I really feel like she wasted a good opportunity

for this debate. Should have the candidates hooked up to a lie detector though. Cheney would have had his going off constantly.

[Dem2theMax]

5. Hey, now THAT'S a good idea! New reality show -

"Does the pResident lie?" lol. Problem is, we already know the outcome. :evilgrin:

[kikiek]

7. Also mandatory drug testing before we hook em up.

[mountainvue]

4. Yup. PBS

needs to hear about this.

[mrbassman03]

8. Very much agreed...

What is the deal with pushing flip-floppin', Edwards' "lack" of experience, and all the trial lawyer crap?

[Ol Sugar Coat]

9. This moderator is sloppy and confused

Weird, stilted questions, and then she loses track of who she's supposed to toss the question/rebuttal to. Lame, lame lame.

[gordianot]

10. She has fouled this up and will be a talking point.

[Ol Sugar Coat]

12. But it doesn't matter

because John edwards just knocked it out of the park!!!! Woo hah Woo hah! Got all you Rethuglicans in check!

[allalone]

13. who is that woman anyway?

that was a pretty bad job she did. awful and lame come to mind.

[SoCalDem]

14. Gwen Ifill

She moderated "Washington Week" on PBS.. She tries too hard to "be fair", and ends up being useless..

[Gore1FL]

15. What was that bizzare rule

"don't mention the name of your running mate, but talk about him?"

Was this a lesson in pronouns, or what? What was supposed to be the significance of that?

[SoCalDem]

18. "Put one hand on your head, and hum while you answer the next question

Makes as much sense :)

[Junkdrawer]

19. Like most of her questions, it was designed to attack Edwards..

I'm sure the Bush campaign has noticed that Edwards uses Kerry's name alot - Gwen wanted a "gotcha".
