Tomorrow's VP Debate Moderator, Gwen Ifill, has a new book coming out on January 20, 2009 (inauguration day), The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. Amazon.com's description of the book.

In THE BREAKTHROUGH, veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obama’s stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power.
Hmmmm... I wonder what will help her book sales more: a victory for McCain or Obama?

Perhaps she should just wear an Obama '08 button to the debate.

No conflict of interest here... Nothing to see here...

You're right, because you can write a book about current politics and race and totally leave Obama out of it.

Keep trying, you throw up enough it's bound to stick at some point.

It was not a matter of leaving Obama out of it (as you cannot), but the book is titled with him. The title suggests that he will be central to the basis of the book and as such, yes, the book will do better if he wins the election. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest should have disqualified her. They should have picked someone else to moderate.
