So, how does everyone think Charlie Gibson will do on Friday?

[No2W2004]

Lob softballs to Shrub and then walk him through the answers?

Just be a moderator and not take sides?

Be a repeat of tonight with bizarre questions that really aren't relevant?

1. he'll put kerry on the defensive

bring in rnc talking points with his questions.

there's NO doubt in my mind.

5. I agree with this assessment.

Bush needs a win, they will start calling favors.

4. He knows if he doesn't treat Smirky right

Diane Sawyer will kick his ass.

7. Charlie Gibson is Friday debate's moderator???

Christ, can't they scare up a real live, bona fide journalist instead of a fluffmeister from a breakfast infotainment show?

I'm sure Charlie is a nice guy, but c'mon. Can't they find SOMEONE with some solid, identifiable jouranlistic credentials??
