The basic question - "What newspapers/journals do you read regularly?" has NO bias in it at all. I can see that some are concerned about Gwen Ifill moderating the VP debate, and it is likely that anyone with a desire to see bias has already seen it without the debate even done. If...

Some of those questions are actually pretty banal except for the way they were answered. Usually someone who reads newspapers regularly might have a favorite columnist - that was where I thought Couric was leading to with her question. From a favored columnist you can infer that the person...

Wow - I just had a flashback to an old interview that Bobby Fischer did (I think it was shown in "The Great Chess Movie") where some guy asked him about his favorite books, expecting him to give some great literary names. After looking uncomfortable answering, Fischer finally said "I'm really...

Wasn't "Assassination Insurance" or something like it why Nixon chose Agnew as his VP?

A low bar might be a good thing for her personally, but for the country, not so good...

Maybe they should bring up privatizing Social Security again. All that $ should shore things up! :D

Actually, nobody understands the complexity of God. If you did, you'd be...God.

All the others - not just the defunct companies. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/mortgage_giants_investigations And don't forget to get those bonuses back - RICO confiscation.

Wow - Pelosi has a lot more power over the Republicans than I thought! We might see Boehner in a studded leather collar and leash soon if this keeps up. What a crock - Republicans didn't want to vote for it (can't really blame them) but this nonsense that it's Pelosi is garbage.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/29/AR2008092900980.html?hpid=topnews This is not going to help the Republicans.

So what? They don't do anything when they are there anyway.

Who cares what Pelosi said - like the Republicans ever listen to her to begin with. This is about them not wanting to be voted out of office by irate constituents. It's one of the few times every few years they give a crap about what the folks back home think.

What's left to do?

Both sides are passing this bailout through. So much for principles.

GS may have made plenty betting against the subprime at the end, but how about during?

Neither.

She gets my sympathy vote. But that's not enough to get high political office.

Both should just stick with the facts and what their opinion is on the facts. I'm more interested in who reaches logical conclusions based on well-structured arguments.

Can they do that? Switch her with someone like Romney right before the VP debate? That might make people happier with the VP pick, but not very happy with McCain, waffling on his judgment and throwing her to the wolves. He's certainly given her his full support and confidence up to now.
