Just like JournoList collaborators took control of whitewashing Obama's back story.
The mainstream media are as arrogant and destructive to our values and democracy as Obama.

"Crowley, who will be moderating the Oct. 16 presidential debate, said this week’s debate showed that Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama “are both going to take whatever time they feel they can get to put their views out."


Imagine that taking time to put their views out, what a novel concept.

It is the moderator's responsibility to get a complete, concise answer from the candidate. If they are full of it, it will show. (see Obama). If they have a clear answer, with accurate details, it will show (see Mitt). I guess that is why she has a problem.

No. Moderators need to get out of the way. I am not interested in what the moderator has to say.

Who didn't think this kind of thing was going to happen. She has no intention of letting Mitt Romney have an opportunity to make a single point. She will interrupt him constantly while only interrupting Obama to remind him of his talking points.

I have no doubt Romney's team is preparing for this.

I agree with #4. This last one seemed like a debate. Not the typical nonsense. Pres Obama, how do you keep all that smart in your attractive normal sized head vs Gov Romney have you stopped abusing animals or do you continue to hate them?

When the moderator was so stunned at the eviseration of the incumbent, there wasn't much left to do. It's not like he was going to get a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show.

Sounds like she is looking forward to debating the candidates herself. Lehrer set a standard that is unlikely to be reached in subsequent debates. Reporters like Crowley are too arrogant to stay in the background for long. For reasons never satisfactorily explained, at least to me, they consider themselves the moral and intellectual superiors of the candidates and behave toward them accordingly.

Candy Crowley, the ancient experienced media talking head, expresses herself by using the words "kind" and "kind of". She sounds more like an inarticulate teenager, than an experienced journalist. Pathetic.

In other words, Candy is telegraphing to the Obama Regime that she will be in their corner on Oct. 16, not to worry.

Oh, and you folks over at the DNC have my secret e-mail address. Send the questions over anytime. Love, Cindy ...

I hope the next moderator does as well as the previous one and lets the candidates speak for themselves. I'm not interested in how clever the moderator can be in asking questions.

She doesn't understand, does she?

Ugly women should stay in print journalism. This woman is an affirmative action bowser.

I hope Mitt has the guts to punch her an extra a**hole if SHE gets out of line.

She means "take control" so that their candidate has all the advantages and no limits.

Yeah right...so that they can manipulate the outcome!!!

Hey Candy Crowley, it's not about you. Just shut up and ask the questions.

Lehrer got it right. A presidential debate moderator facilitates exchange of ideas and the candidates questioning each other and points them in the next direction with the next question. Not controls. It is not a dual interview, it is a debate. If Candy's performance is very memorable, then she messed up very much. In a town hall environment you don't want the moderator rephrasing or reframing the audiences questions very much at all. If she does make this mistake then you have the Candy Crowley Show, not a town hall debate. You want an almost pure interaction between the audience questioner and the candidates.

Be careful, Candy. Stifle your need to control.

No, OP, the question is "Will she allow Romney 4 minutes in this debate?"

WHY does the RNC allow EVERY debate be hosted by a rabid Libtard....why???
Get Limbaugh or Hannity to host one of these 'nightmares'

Just put the dessert tray where Candy can reach it and she's a non-factor.

The two men on the stage are running for the most important job in the Country and perhaps the World. if they cannot discuss points raised my the moderator without interference, how can they run the Country. Is Candy going to be there in the Wh to take control? just ask the damn questions and get out of the way. Let the debaters show what they know and how they act.
You think Nero interfered in the Coliseum. The fighters fight and the moderators just pose the questions and keep the time in check.
The moderators should be invisible.It is NOT their show. If the contestants do not answer a question, it is up to their opponent to bring up the point and maybe answer for them.
This is not show and tell in grade school. It is for all the marbles. Let the men debate, period. Frankly, in foreign affairs, if Obama
cannot handle it, then let him sit in the empty chair, because Romney is well versed in
taking control and solving problems.

Another point, as we well know Ms Crowley is partisan towards the left. If she trends off the center line, Mr Romney ought to take her to task very quickly. She is not there to pick a winner, but to be a neutal moderator asking the questions..and that is all.

I figure she has two courses. One is to show Honesty, Ethics and Integrity for BOTH men, or she can be a two faced lying communist whore by licking Obama's rear end.

It is up to you Ms Crowley how you wish to be advertised after the debate.

Sent before I finished.

We do not want Moderators to favor one side or the other. We want it fair for both sides. Nothing more.

Candy Crowley publicly announces her intention to shamelessly flack for Wise King Barky....

No announcement was needed, Candy.

We already know you're a hack.

"Candy"?.... "CANDY"!!!??? BBBWWHAAA HAAA HHHAAA!!!...maybe if Sandra Fluke only had been named "Candy".....

Liberal flacks like Ms. Crowley are not used to interviewing intelligent businessmen. I think Gov. R. will be well prepared for her "interruptions".

With his vast and successful leadership and problem solving experience, I'm sure Gov Romney can intuitively tell when someone is making useful suggestions and when someone is sabotaging the process. And in Denver, he showed he is not shy about speaking his mind to a President, or to a moderator.
Tread carefully, Ms Crowley.
