Debate moderator Ifill is big Obama booster

Gwen Ifill (pictured) will be the debate moderator tonight when Governor Palin and Senator Biden meet in St. Louis.

Ifill insists she is impartial, yet here are the facts:

1. She wrote a book titled: The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.This pro-Obama book will be released for sale in January. If Obama becomes president, her book sales will increase dramatically giving her a vested interest in an Obama - Biden win in November.

2. She wrote a ‘puff piece’ about Barack Obama and his family.

3. She has faced criticism in the past for not treating candidates of both major parties the same.

4. She did not inform the Commission on Presidential Debates about her pro-Obama book or the pro-Obama article.

Ifill may as well wear an Obama button to the debate.

More on her partiality here and here. The Ifill Obama article is here.
