ACLU pressuring vice presidential debate moderator to emphasize GOP ‘war on women’

Remember the last Vice Presidential debate? Not a single question was asked about abortion.

Of course, that one involved a Republican candidate who could speak with authority to rebut the usual media talking points about Republicans don't understand the women's perspective.

So no questions on abortion, although hearing that exchange would have been fascinating.

Update:

That was the easiest forecast to make:

President Barack Obama was a guest at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign correspondent and vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz, The Daily Caller has learned. Obama and groom Julius Genachowski, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal Communications Commission, were Harvard Law School classmates at the time and members of the Harvard Law Review.

Instapundit points out:

Why do strange things keep happening to veep moderators? Recall in 2008 when Gwen Ifill was tapped to be the “impartial” moderator of that fall’s vice presidential debate — despite having a pro-Obama book already scheduled to be published in January?
