That's a good point. It's probably no big deal to the Republicans since they knew the deck would be stacked against them from the start anyway.

I hope so but there is a way around this:

Gwen knows what she's going to ask each candidate.....suppose that information "accidently" found it's way into camp Obama?

She could then ask really, really tough questions of Biden and rather softball questions of Palin and no one will be able to accuse her of being unfair to Sarah while at the same time Biden will look like a mental giant for answering all of these tough questions "off the top of his head"

So, while others will be watching to see if Palin is treated unfairly by Gwen I will be watching to see if Biden gets the toughest horse while Palin isn't allowed to score because her bronco won't buck.

She should step aside. I don't want my election fun spoiled by suggestions that Obama won because a black woman journalist sold out her sex in favor of her race.

I just don't think that's good for the Jews.

She didn't mention the book to the debate commission, but it was mentioned in Time Magazine in August, and in an interview with the Washington Post (I believe) in September. It's been available on presale with Amazon. Her publisher chose the release date. The Obama chapter hasn't even been written yet, and he is but a small part of the book about black politics since the Civil War era.

Let the Cons pout and cry. It's not gonna change anything now, even if she did have a conflict of interest or was somehow hiding the book from the candidates.

Palin Bingo to play during Thursday's debate. Safe for work.

I have to agree. The book thing is not that big of a deal. Sure it might be of some advantage to Obama but it's not like the Republicans won't have a trick or two up their sleeve as well.

I printed out our Palin Bingo cards. I'm stopping at L&L on the way home tomorrow to pick up some katsu for dinner. We're ready!

Amusing tidbit, here's an article summarizing some of the jokes made about Palin preparing for the debate:
