Is Ifill Out As Veep Debate Moderator?

There's word today that PBS anchor Gwen Ifill may be removed as moderator of Thursday's vice presidential debate between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Sarah Palin because of Ifill's new book, out on Inauguration Day, that praises Barack Obama.
Ifill's impartiality and credibility have been under attack this week, as word of the book's existence became known.
The McCain-Palin campaign was not aware of it when they agreed to Ifill as the moderator, a spokesman told Fox News' Greta Van Sustern.
Whether the Republicans have lodged a formal request is speculated, but not known.
