We all remember the last time most of us thought about Gwen Ifil: the VP debate of four years ago.
If you watch the Cheney/Edwards debate from four years ago reasonably, not passionately, and pay close attention to her, not the candidates, you'll see an obvious bias in favor of Edwards. Hell, at one point she accidentally gave Edwards more time than he was supposed to get.
Now, she is writing a book "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama" set to come out in January. The book that aims to "shed new light" on Democratic candidate Barack Hussein Obama II and other "emerging young African American politicians" who are "forging a bold new path to political power."
This is probably a legitimate topic for a book, as long as said book is written without bias. I also understand why Gwen Ifil is excited that BHO2 is on the cusp of the Presidency. But when you consider that excitement and the fact the central figure of her book is BHO2, may I suggest that she maybe isn't the best and most fair choice to moderate the VP debate.
How come there is only one moderator?
