McCain camp didn't know about Ifill book
2008-10-01
by Greta Van Susteren

I confirmed for us here on GretaWire: the McCain campaign did NOT know about Gwen Ifill's book (I think I told them when I made my efforts - emails about midnight - to find out!) I am stunned....the campaign (actually both) should have been told before the campaign agreed to have her moderate. It simply is not fair - in law, this would create a mistrial.
I'm betting the Obama campaign knew ...

Addendum at 12:40 CDT: another long piece on this from WND.

#6  I'm afraid it will only make the campaign look more incompetent now. Posted by eltoroverde 2008-10-01

Frankly, I am not at all certain this is possible.

#5  Of course the Obama campaign knew. The question in my mind is how did the McCain camp not know? Who the hell is running things over there? Have they ever heard of Google? They didn't think to look into the moderator until GSV inquired about it? As a McCain supporter, I'm embarrassed with the poor job they seem to be doing right now. They should have been on top of this before it got to this point as I'm afraid it will only make the campaign look more incompetent now.

#4  OS is right. The media in this country needs to be brought down. They don't even pretend to be unbias anymore.

#3  I watched Palin's acceptance speech on the local PBS channel. All the NPR commentators appeared shell-shocked. Ifill, in particular, looked liked she had just eaten worms.

#2  I'm about done with this whole charade. McCain doesn't represent me; Biden represents everything I'm against. Teleprompter Barry is the answer to all of 'black' America's issues (oh, and watch the inner cities erupt if his 'holiness' should lose). Now a biased, agenda driven, 'smile hiding her anger' black PBS hack is to be the moderator for the debate. Sheesh. I just want to move to Alaska, ask Sarah and Todd out to dinner and get rip roaring drunk.

#1  Par for the course, I'm sure dems wouldn't see it as a conflict of interest. Cause it doesn't conflict with their interests.
