Here is a sample follow up from Crowley:

"Gov. Romney, you have cited the multiple failures of this administration since 2009, but do believe that electing the first Africa-American president in US history was an historic achievement for the country, and if you do believe it to be historic, wouldn't the defeat of that president by a lilly-white man, such as yourself, be a step backwards for race relations? 30 seconds to respond.

Why do I imagine the Crowley’s reframing and follow ups to Obama will simply tee up another prototypical platitude Fest for Obama? While Crowley’s reframing and follow ups to Romney will be confrontational.

My prediction, Crowley is wavy enough to throw at least one dig at Obama to secure the some appearance of credibility. Otherwise 10 to 1 attack on Romney.

Crowley wants to sit at the head table with Martha at this years press correspondents dinner. While Jim Lerher gets a milk crate in the kitchen.

“Knock it off...we are better than that.”

Well obviously we are not. :))

Crowley is a liberal and you’ll never meet one that isn’t interested in control.

What is the opposite of a “toothless hillbilly”?

A valleygirl with an orthodontist.

Her reward for helping Obama will be a lifetime pass to Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

Romney agreed to submit himself to a fat stupid leftist. What could go wrong?

Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement ...

Excuse me, how can this be? How can rules for a debate be established and the "Moderator" is not required to follow them? Is this a typical arrangement?

(It could be, I really don't know. It's the first I'd heard of a "Memorandum of Understanding" for any debate.)
