I can see the conflict of interest, but at the same time, I can't understand how anyone who has watched Ifill would walk away saying she is anything less than a consumate and objective pro.
She has responded:
"I've got a pretty long track record covering politics and news, so I'm not particularly worried that one-day blog chatter is going to destroy my reputation. The proof is in the pudding. They can watch the debate tomorrow night and make their own decisions about whether or not I've done my job."
Regardless of her ability to remain neutral or not, the appearance is still there. I'm certain the Obama camp probably wouldn't be too happy if the situation were reversed.
