2. Didn't ABC get passed over for doing the debates?
If I'm remembering correctly, I'm guessing it was in response to the terrible debate George S and Charlie G did.

So maybe ABC is pissed at the Dems because of the resulting hoopla, and will be EXTRA nice to Sarah.

4. Why do you think they chose Gibson? He's a rove team player.

6. Umm...good luck with that
The McSame campaign already told you that he's going to be "deferential". If you think your letters will overcome pressure from the fascists, you need to put down the crack pipe.

7. It's worth a try and certanly can't hurt. If they fear their ratings will drop
they may feel pressure to beef things up.

8. It's going to be scripted
and friendly.

That's the plan. Take away the latitude to play it that way.

9. Done.
My Comment:

I have concerns in the upcoming interview with Sarah Palin that you will be, in the words of the McCain campaign, "deferential". You should not be deferential, Governor Palin needs to be challenged on the issues and pushed to lay out her positions...the American people need and deserve to know where Palin stands as she is potentially one-heartbeat away from leadership of the most powerful nation in the world. It is unreasonable for the McCain campaign to expect she not be scrutinized. Thank You.
