NEW YORK — The day before the vice presidential debate the guest list for moderator Martha Raddatz’s 1991 wedding has become an issue, of sorts.
The list included Harvard Law School student and future president Barack Obama. The groom was Julius Genachowski, the current Federal Communications Commission chairman. And The Daily Caller website wanted to know if the connections 21 years ago raise the question of bias going into Thursday’s debate.
Raddatz’s employer, ABC News, called the issue “silly” and sought to beat the website to the punch by confirming that Obama attended the wedding 21 years ago. The couple divorced in 1997.
Raddatz, ABC’s senior foreign affairs correspondent, was chosen this summer by the Commission on Presidential Debates to moderate the debate between Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. She has been with ABC News for more than 13 years and wrote “The Long Road Home — A Story of War and Family.”
Obama could moderate it himself, Biden would still look stupid
