Are you guys for real where talking about Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, Joe is a smooth life long politician and Sarah is a small time governor.

Joe should win this hands down and does not need any help.

While I'm sure Ifill will do her best to be fair in the debate, there is no doubt she is in the tank for Obama.

http://www.essence.com/news_entertai...americanfamily

The Obamas: Portrait of an American Family
Gwen Ifill

Soon we will vote for our next president, and for the first time in history, one of the two candidates is a Black man. For a year, Essence pursued an interview with the entire Obama family to no avail. Finally, this summer ESSENCE became the only Black media outlet allowed a glimpse into the lives of Barack, Michelle and their two girls, Malia and Sasha, when we were invited to their South Side Chicago home. Weeks later, veteran political journalist Gwen Ifill was with the family as they campaigned in a small mostly White western town, and she flew with them to a Black church in the urban Midwest.

Barack Obama is sitting in the back of his rented luxury campaign bus with its granite counters and two flat-screen TVs. The Illinois senator's arms are wrapped around his wife, Michelle, whom he doesn't get to see much these days. At this very moment he is, of all things, singing.

I've just asked them how their lives have changed since he won the Democratic presidential nomination. There have definitely been changes, especially for Michelle Obama, who used to pride herself on campaigning by day and rushing home to her daughters each night. Now she is spending more of her days and nights on the road, but seldom in the same place as her husband. And when their daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7 get to see their dad, they likely have to share him with thousands of adoring strangers. "Daddy's gone a lot," Sasha notes. "We don't see him that much."

But on this Fourth of July, everyone is together. Even though there are at least a half-dozen aides and family members on the bus with us, it feels intimate back here. Michelle and Barack are curled up on the beige couch, while the children are reading and coloring a few feet away. Michelle folds her long legs to her chin and leans into her husband as he explains the reality of their lives. When he pauses, she finishes his sentences.

Their ease with each other recalls the day several weeks earlier when ESSENCE arrived to photograph the Obamas at their large Georgian Revivial home on Chicago's South Side. Barack stood on the lawn playfully teasing his wife as she posed for our cameras. Now, as then, his customary public caution melts away when he is with his family. Under relentless media scrutiny, Barack Obama says his family is going the extra mile to "maintain this little island of normalcy in the midst of all this swirl of activity."

But family snapshots of this sort are rare, as are moments when the Obamas can just chill. "Michelle has done a heroic job of managing the house, the family and still finding time to campaign and be out on the road," he says, after directing staff members to turn off the television, which was tuned to Fox News Channel. "I'm always marveling at everything that she can do."

And then he sings.

"I'm every woman," he croons. She cringes. He laughs. "That's Michelle. It's like, Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!"

What does O'Reilly have to do with it?
Is he moderating the debate?

I rarely see the connection and/or relevance to your posts.

Point is Democrats would not allow O'Reilly to moderate a debate regardless of his ability to be fair.

Double standard.

More so the problem is she intentionally didn't tell the committee that she wrote the book, which ironically comes out JAN 20th the same day the new Pres would be sworn in.

What I don't get is why everyone does not see a problem with this arrangement. It deifies all common sense.

What kind of "Breakthrough" would it be if Obama loses the election? How silly would it be to release a book on the Day McCain is sworn in with the title "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama," ?

The only thing I can figure is Gwen and her publisher think Obama is going to win and that might be the case. That said, if McCain wins Gwen and the publisher lose big time and that alone should constitute a conflict of interest.
