The Obama campaign should complain about bias from Tom Brokaw.
He is not going to be fair to Obama. He will probably only allow people that are critical of Obama to ask questions. He won't give McCain any difficult ones.

1. First question will be about Ayers.....
with the follow-up about Rezko. Brokaw is a partisan hack.

2. They already did
Axelrod said something about Brokaw's ties to the McCain campaign a few days ago.

3. They should push it more like the Republicans pushed the Ifill thing.
Not sure if Brokaw will fold like Ifill did but perhaps it will prevent him from behaving like Charlie G and George S.

4. He Said
That given Brokaw's ties to the McLame campaign, as reported in the NYT, that Brokaw should be held to the same standard as Ifill.

5. Yes. yes and YES.
The other side has turned 'working the refs' into an art form. Our side should be pounding the podium over obvious GOPers like Stephanopoulis, Cokie, all of Fox, Andrea Mitchell, Bob Schieffer, AND Brokaw.

6. I wonder how much Brokaw does in this "Town-Hall" style debate
questions are from the audience (packed with McCain-Brockaw approved questioners) and internet questions

11. Reporter who says that's the McSame "we have all come to know and love"
needs to step aside. He has been very obviously promoting McSame's cause throughout the campaign and made it official on MTP today, I hear.

14. Yah - give the media a reason to portray you as a whiner - what a GENIUS idea!
