Gwen Ifil, you gotta be joking. Talk about a conflict of interest. I mean she is putting out a book in the next few months that contains a lot about her support for Obama. I hope Sarah starts the debate by congratulating her on her upcoming book and ask her the title of it. Now that would be hilarious.
Yet, your standard bearer, John McCain said that he thought she was a professional. He didn't seem to object to her moderating. Sounds as damage control has begun already.
You know what I find interesting? Obama refused to come to a debate that was put on by Fox News....same with the other lib candidates. They felt that Fox News was too biased towards the right. Yet...Obama has no problem with a debate between the two actual VP candidates being moderated by someone who has written a book of praise for him, the other side of one of those tickets. The hypocrisy is so thick that you could stop a steamship with it.
