Second phone number appears to be wrong.
I left a message with the ombudsman, and also wrote to the the debate organizers at
jb@debates.org.
Apparently Gwen Ifill did NOT disclose her book project to the debate organizers or to the McCain campaign when moderaters were being selected.
Ms. Ifill should recuse herself for her conflict of interest and non-disclosure.
I don't think 'truly objective' is a high enough standard, and you'd have to find someone who was revived from a 30-year coma. You want someone with superior wisdom, judgment, patience, restraint, and grace; that would be Anita Hill.
