Brokaw gets to pick the questions. Forget getting a fair debate tonight

[Thrill]

.

[liberal N proud]

1. Yep

[JohnMcCant2008]

2. I hope he values his integrity more than his candidate. But I doubt it..... n/t

[TwilightZone]

3. It's my understanding that all of the moderators select their own questions.

He's already shown that he's in the tank for McCain, and I suspect that's how he'll moderate.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. That was my understanding also. I heard Gwen Ifill refer to this a few days ago.

[myrna minx]

4. Perhaps he'll call Hannity for some suggestions.

:puke:

[Overseas]

5. Brokaw will do his best to prop up his very dear friend McLiar.

Even if McLiar stumbles, we can expect Brokaw to prop him up. If McLiar heads off on an odd tangent, Brokaw will bring him back in.

Even though the recent NYT profile showed Brokaw talking about his shuttle diplomacy to the McLiar campaign team to reassure them that even though the horrible Keith and Chris have the disgusting manners to tell the truth about the Bush gang and McLiar camapign, they can still "get a fair shake" from NBC.

So Tommy B. is just dedicated to fairness, don't you know.

Country Club First.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. 20 Bill Ayers questions, oddly enough.

McBrokaw.

[ShortnFiery]

9. And perhaps a "Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you?" type bullshit question.

:eyes:

[still_one]

7. Maybe, but Obama will be fine, and within those questions, he can

also bring up his own questions about mccain that brokaw won't ask

[MadBadger]

8. Why dont we wait and see before we judgde?

Remember how we all judged Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson before their interviews with Failin? How did that turn out?

[n2doc]

14. Good point

My suspicion is that Brokaw will try to keep things calm and civil, so that McInsane doesn't blow. But if he does blow, there is nothing Tom can do to help him. And Obama can handle anything. He will be careful, calm and collected just like in the first debate.

[hedgehog]

10. CAn you think of any questions Obama can't answer or is afraid to answer?

[high density]

11. Gallup is involved in the questions too

It is a Town Hall forum tonight.

[Thrill]

15. But Brokaw picks the questions

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. He picks the questions, but doesn't control the answers.

"What is your favorite color?"

"Blue. NO! Red! Wait! Aaaaggghh!"

[billyoc]

12. I don't need a fair debate, I just need another YouTube clip of McAncient forgettting where he is

and wandering around looking for a way to get off the stage.

[The Stranger]

13. I hate that fucking piece of shit.

[gravity]

16. It will be fine

You guys act like he is Sean Hannity. Brokaw is a professional and the questions will be fair

[hedgehog]

19. What can Brokaw or McCain say that hasn't already been beaten to death during the

primaries?

[WI_DEM]

20. Actually I hope that the Ayers thing is brought up so that Obama can forcefully respond and make it

a non-issue.

[stillcool]

21. I sent MSNBC an email..

the other day, requesting that Mr. Brokaw contain his bias, and if that proves to be impossible, then MSNBC should paste their phone number across the screen.
