Ifill tapped to moderate veep debate at Wash U.
While Missouri is focused on today’s primary election, the presidential election chugs along (91 days to go!) in the rest of the country. 
To wit: Today the Commission on Presidential Debates announced their roster of moderators.
For the Oct. 2 vice-presidential debate at Washington University, the commission has tapped veteran Beltway journalist Gwen Ifill, host of “Washington Week” and a former reporter for the Washington Post and New York Times, among other newspapers.
This will be familiar territory for Ifill, who moderated the last vice-presidential debate in 2004 between Dick Cheney and John Edwards.
Moderating the debates between Barack Obama and John Mccain are a trio of broadcast stalwarts: Tom Brokaw, Bob Schieffer and Jim Lehrer, Ifill’s colleague at the NewsHour.
The commission’s website has more on the format of the debates.
