Now, I brought up the book sales issue because I was illustrating a conflict of interest, not making excuses for Palin or McCain. Now I don't presume to know what attitude she is going to bring to the table tonight, so I won't prejudge. But please don't tell me people are naive enough to think that her releasing her book about black political figures with Obama on the cover on the day she and most people think he will be sworn in as President is coincidence. It's smart marketing, and she would stand to benefit (even if it's only selling 2000 instead of 1000) if Obama wins. Will that affect her tonight? I can't say, but, like it or not, it is a conflict of interest.
