Was Ifill a smart choice to moderate?

I've followed Gwen Ifill for several years now, especially on The NewsHour on PBS and Washington Week every Friday evening (also on PBS). I can't tell you the number of times I (as a Democrat and Obama supporter) yelled at her image on screen after hearing a comment she made that appeared to me to be PRO Republicans. I can assure you she is one of the most bipartisan news persons on air. She'll be fine and moderate a fair and (I hope) thorough debate.
