Can you believe this?

Thursday nights moderator for the VP debate is coming out with a pro-Obama titled "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama". Apparently Obama now has his own "Age". In the "Age of Obama"? Are you kidding me? She had better check her bias at the door. A woman who is set to make money if Obama wins the election. Hhhmmm, seems like there could have been a better choice.

"Clearly her books aren't going to do as well unless Obama wins, so it looks like she has some investment, literally, in one candidate or the other. And she's supposed to be sitting there as a neutral arbiter during the debate," said NPR's Juan Williams, a FOX News contributor. "I think the world of Gwen Ifill but I know there's a perception problem." Full story

This just seems fishy. How can they use someone with a clear bias to one candidate to be the moderator of the debate?

Please keep us updated. I'd be curious to know if she was capable of suppressing her bias.

She actually did a decent job. The only favortism was allowing Biden to have the last word on topics at a ratio of 3 to 1. The format of the debate was the real problem.
