Doubleday says that [Gwen] Ifill “surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obama’s stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power.”

. . . in her new book about “the age of Obama.” 

The title is the opening line of the Monty Wooley character in the 1939 Broadway play and 1942 movie and 2000 TV film (Nathan Lane), “The Man Who Came to Dinner.”

Gwen Eye-full hits the bookstands Jan. 20.  It’s The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, and is sure to be a hit — especially if the Big O. wins next month.  To which end it won’t hurt if S. Palin flops in tomorrow night’s debate, moderated by — yes, the one and only Gwen I.  What do you know about that!

[No fair, says Greta Van S.]
