Crowley knows not, and knows not that she knows not, OP. Confidant ignorance? Yep.
Romney knows and knows that he knows. He is a wise man, follow him.

Crowley to Romney "You don't understand the format"... Now he does !

Ya'll be nice to Candy. She had bought a new frock for the occasion, designed by Oscar de la Tenta, got her hair tinted (and acctually combed, for a change). Did you notice, though, that she was 3" taller sitting than when standing?

I love this -- It also doesn't help that media types live in a bubble of babble, associating only with other liberals and imbibing nothing beyond The New York Times and her satellites. Hey, that's the whole world, isn't it?
She hurt her cause more than she helped. As much as we complain about the debate moderators, their antics have played a big role in putting Mitt on top.

The real MEAT of this great story is near the end. Selwyn Duke has the Lib psyche nailed.
FTA: "…but the truth with the left is that they deceived themselves long before deceiving others. A prerequisite for baying your own biases is knowing they exist, and liberals don't. Being relativists, their locus of values is not without but within; thus, they quite naturally see themselves as defining reality. (snip) It also doesn't help that media types live in a bubble of babble, associating only with other liberals and imbibing nothing beyond The New York Times and her satellites. Hey, that's the whole world, isn't it?
"This is why, mind you, liberals will so often swear up and down that they're "moderates"; it's why they'll say with a straight face that there's no bias in the mainstream media."
Liberalism IS a mental disorder. Know it before you try to argue logically with one.

Ms. Crowley and CNN owes Gov. Romney and this country a huge apology. The debate commission should demand that they put an ad on every TV and radio station with an apology and an admission that Ms. Crowley not only interfered in the debate but gave out wrong information favorable to Obama, even demanded that they play the correct information. That would be just and fair!

Hey, what is with these guys (Obama and Biden) making big deals about the time and even complaining about the time when they spend most of Romney's time interrupting him?? Both of the last two debates these whiners got about 3 more minutes than Romney. And half the time, all they did was repeat the same lies anyway

Asking Romney howw he's different than Bush was an ambush question from hell but Romney was ready for it. By trying to help Obama they make him look weak.Different things that people say and do strike different parts of the brain. Obama got points by just looking alive but still no concrete answers on anything.Maybe Obama's hoping his homies in the inner cities issuing fatwas on Romney will help him.
It's funny how all of a sudden the US is talking about staying in Afghanistan longer. To me this is a buffer against foreign policy discussions in the next debate.

This wasn't a question from the audience. It was a Crowley/Obama setup. Watch it again for yourself. It was planned. That's Michelle clapping at the end. Watch the audience lines respond positively to Obama's huffing and puffing. ''Undecideds,'' my Aunt Fanny!
Romney was great.

The Benghazi moment was the penultimate moment of the debate, the one the BO/Crowley tag-team had prepared for so energetically.
Note Crowley's muddlig/fumbling of her lines as she declares her leader correct whilst attempting to give cover to herself by mangling an explanation that Romney was correct. Obviously, guilt and stress at work.
Liar. Liar.

Mearl Justus, who served as sheriff of St. Clair County for three decades before resigning from the position last week, died Tuesday afternoon at Memorial Hospital in Belleville.(Snip)He started as a street cop in Cahokia and was police chief there for 20 years before serving as county sheriff. He had just resigned from the position on Tuesday, citing health issues. Mr. Justus rarely carried a gun, although it was said that he always had one within reach. He taught criminal justice classes and told his college students they would solve more crimes with a pen than a gun.

Chicago police commissioner Garry McCarthy drew heavy criticism this summer when crime statistics showed, in mid-June, that homicides were up 38 percent over the previous year. When the rise in murders first became noticeable, back in March, McCarthy announced the city would conduct a so-called "gang audit" to help police get a handle on the problem. The audit found that Chicago now has some 625 gang factions — up from 500 about a decade ago, according to Chicago magazine. In the aftermath of the audit WBEZ took steps to compile an interactive map of gang territory throughout the city.

Instead of bargaining, the Fort Lee-based Care One and HealthBridge companies say that two local affiliates of the Service Employees International Union are resorting to criminal activities, defamation and sabotage to get contracts approved and workers organized.

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Jim Lehrer was "seething" over complaints that he was an uninspired choice for moderator of 2012's first presidential debate. Before the candidates had delivered their closing remarks, a consensus had already emerged on Lehrer's performance, with "Poor Jim" trending on Twitter and a new "Silent Jim Lehrer" account quickly gaining thousands of followers. (Snip) One thing these two candidates CAN agree on: Jim Lehrer should only speak when spoken to.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video.
