Keep Ifill, Despite The Glaring Conflict of Interest JOE BIDEN, SARAH PALIN campaignspot.nationalreview.com It's a little late to replace Gwen Ifill as moderator of the vice-presidential debate, and McCain partisans might prefer to have a moderator with a glaring conflict-of-interest to provide a handy objection to any question Palin deems out of bounds. "Gwen, that sounds like the kind of question one would ask if one had a financial stake in the election of Barack Obama — like a book about him coming out early next year or something."
