The most important thing about Malkin's column is that it notes Gwen Ifill, who will be moderating Thursday's VP debate, has written, what's being marketed as, a pro-Obama book.

It's titled "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama" and is published by Random House.

It will be released on January 20, 2009--Inauguration Day. Ifill must certainly be hoping for an Obama win to help her book sales.

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," read the promotional material on the Random House website.

Drudge is linking a WND story on this and Malkin has lots of YouTube clips of Ifill gushing over Obama and showing disdain towards Palin over on her site.
