She is a well respected journalist, with decades of experience. I have no doubt she'll be professional in her treatment of both candidates. Interesting to note, Ifill discussed the book in a interview with The Washington Post on September 4, well before the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the debate moderators. The McCain camp should have been aware had they done their homework, and acted accordingly. In any event, if Palin is worth her salt, she'll hold up her end in the debate.
