Understand that it is never the job of a moderator to enter
the debate, show preference in spite of
the fact that “preference” is most often
obvious, or argue with the contestant(s). And yet,
the GOP allows the national press the privilege of moderating
presidential debate in which they despise the conservative point of view.
On
a number of occasions during the Thursday night VP debate, Paul Ryan was having to debate the Martha
Raddatz/Joe Biden partnership.
Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News, Sarah Palin had this to say:
“Really tough format, Sean, for someone like a Paul Ryan or
anybody else up against Joe Biden, when the moderator allowed one candidate to
absolutely run roughshod over the conversation, over the opponent. That’s a tough format. It reminded me … of
watching a musk ox run across the tundra with somebody underfoot. And in this
case, when it came to style, it was Paul Ryan underfoot because of the
moderator allowing Biden to do the interrupting, to kind of take control of the
conversation.” There is little question
that Biden intended to throw Ryan off his game,
as he laughed and ridiculed the challenger. In the end,
5 of the 6 polls gave the debate to Ryan, but Biden was [probably] able to do what he
needed to do and that was to energize his base."
Imagine this: Just three weeks until the election and Obama
is still trying to energize his base.
Incredible.
