I was a broadcast stand-in for Washington Week with Gwen Ifil at Penn in Philly. I was "obviously" the conservative republican white guy in the "ethnic" Philly crowd and also in the midst of a PBS democrat-fest. I also got some sweet national air-time with a question for the panel. My first experience with a PBS production. Worked with all-around great people...producers, crew, director, and cast. Wouldnt mind working for them after this particular experience.
Gwen was gracious, friendly, charmimg, intelligent, and magnetic. I saw only a fair and balanced news person. I know where she stands, but it was not offensive or any more or less than anyone who supports their candidate or ideology. I think she'll be a great moderator. I don't believe she would be any more or less than Britt Hume. I am not an Obama fan, but am a Gwen Ifil fan. Go for it Gwen. You have my vote.
