Huh - I guess times change, right? :-) I'm curious as to why he was allowed to moderate at all if he's a part of one of the campaigns. Aren't the LoWV still sponsoring these, and not a Major News Outlet? Um, IIRC there was only one question (of the stuff I saw, granted) that Obama didn't answer, and that's primarily because he wasn't given the opportunities to go over time the way McCain did constantly. Come to think of it, it makes more sense now... ABC? Huh – I guess times change, right? :-)

So it would make a lot of sense if he were leaning in his direction. Of course my Republican friend (I am *so* happy I only have one or two here in CA) had to say that "someone has to do it" and I said, "Yeah, but then to moderate the debate when he's biased?" To that she said that Obama didn't answer any of the questions. I didn't watch the debate, but I know she didn't either, and she probably got that from her talking points on the talk radio she always listens to.

And as far as the bailout goes, I see the UK is doing something similar right now. But they're not enabling, they're nationalizing (sort of, partially). <cite>Oh man is that socialist.
