A person would have to be utterly stupid to argue that Ifill doesn't stand to make more money if Obama is elected than if he isn't. The argument is utterly stupid. Quit whining...Ifill is a person with utmost integrity. She will be under the spotlight...any sign of partiality will play to the benefit of the palin side...if she is "partial" as you say, she will not want to do that kind of damage to the side she favors. You can't even recognize advantage when it is staring you in the face. Al

"The publisher says, "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."" And here is what it has on amazon.com Editorial Reviews Product Description 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. Ifill argues that the Black political structure formed during the Civil Rights movement is giving way to a generation of men and women who are the direct beneficiaries of the struggles of the 1960s. She offers incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama, and also covers up-and-coming figures from across the nation. Drawing on interviews with power brokers like Senator Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and many others, as well as her own razor-sharp observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict and the "black enough" conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history. THE BREAKTHROUGH is a remarkable look at contemporary politics and an essential foundation for understanding the future of American democracy. It is pretty transparent that you ignore the bulk of what the publisher had to say. It doesn't support your thesis. amazon.com "A person would have to be utterly stupid to argue that Ifill doesn't stand to make more money if Obama is elected than if he isn't. The argument is utterly stupid." You are just trying to shut down discussion because you know you have a weak hand. You often do that.
