No conflict of interest here.....

Since the Book is about BHO and is scheduled to hit the bookstores on Inauguration day, she stands to make more money after a BHO win than a JSM win.

I don't think it would hurt her to recuse herself as a judge would , but the candidates are not demanding it , and she seems to feel that she can be journalistic professional , so it is her option.

Having a journalist of admitted prejudice is probably better than having one with secret prejudice.

If the campaign staffs are happy with Ifill, then I see no reason to worry.
If they didn't want her there, they would insist on someone else.

Gwen  only about 100 times more able and 1000 times brighter than Palin which is the real reason the nutcase right is doing this  (no doubt ith McSameastheidiots tacit approval).Being an able and fearless journalist , my guess is that the old Repub tactic of smear and intimidation will not work onher. I am hoping she will say that at the beginning of the debate. Wouldnt that throw Palin the Moron off?

It's appalling that Ifill got herself in a position to moderate this debate. She pulled a fast one.

She also just recently wrote a very glowing portrait of the Obamas for Essence magazine called "An American Family." I read a little of it, and it is nauseating in its puffiness. She also stands to make $300,000 on the book if Obama is elected. If he's not elected, a book about the "Age of Obama" won't sell that well. She has a vested interest that Obama and Biden win this election.

====================================

It will sell well enough. Big Oil has a vested interest in McCain and Palin. So what? Should they have censored the clowns chanting "drill babay drill" at the GOP convention?

If McCain didn't want Ifill to moderate, they could have vetoed her.

It is pretty obvious if a moderator favors one side over the other.

"I tink you would find masturbation an improvement"

Do really have to be so classless and vulgar?

Do you have to be such a hateful selfish ratwinger?

How will big oil suffer if BHO wins the election?

[Xavier_Onassis]

They will not suffer, but they will also not get a huge tax break that McCain wants to give to all corporations.

They also might get a windfall profits tax. That would also not cause them to suffer, but it would cause them to have less money.

If someone is selling me gasoline and his taxes rise , I should not mind the increase in my cost?

I mind every increase in every price I pay.
You better believe that the station that eats the increase will get my business.
Does he give a sh*t about my taxes or salary? Not even a small turd does he care. So why shouldn't I mind if he tries to stick me with his damned taxes?
