In a rare example of political unity, both the Romney and Obama campaigns have expressed concern to the Commission on Presidential Debates about how the moderator of the Tuesday town hall has publicly described her role, TIME has learned. While an early October memorandum of understanding between the Obama and Romney campaigns suggests CNN’s Candy Crowley would play a limited role in the Tuesday-night session, Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement, has done a series of interviews on her network in which she has suggested she will assume a broader set of responsibilities. As Crowley put it last week, “Once the table is kind of set by the town-hall questioner, there is then time for me to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, what about X, Y, Z?’”

Candy Crowley is one of the more partisan Dem reportes out there. Of course she’s going to try to open her fat mouth to cut off Romney when he’s on a roll and save Obama when he starts to stutter and stammer.
Remember this: Crowley’s goal at this debate is not to host a good debate. Its to do everything she can to turn this into a “turning point” so that Obama and the press can start a “comeback” narrative. She’s looking for praise from her fellow reporters as the person who turned this back around for Obama. She wants to have an interview like Katie Couric had with Sarah Palin. One that was perceived as stopping the McCain - Palin momentum.
Sadly, she’s a vegetarian.
I dunno Iron, are you sure even a Mother could love THAT face?
EM, EEEMMMM, MMMMMM........
I’m sure Crowley will make sure that the following topics are addressed:
47%
Bain
“War on Women”
Gay Marriage
Maybe Romney should show up with a slice of cake and mount it on the podium...just to distract her..
I think unfortunately this format favors Obama. This was the debate where the troll McCain looked like an elderly hobbit next to him, hobbling around the stage.
Though Romney looks and sounds more youthful than his years, he’s got something of a stiff, old-man walk himself.
And of course Obama will have already had Crowley working hard, picking out the best questions for him.
Then there’s the fact that the MSM is especially prepped to declare Obama the big winner. That’s what will both give Obama a boost and boost the ratings for the final debate.
The only thing that works against Barry in this is the structure of short answers. In one or two minutes, he barely gets more than his first three “ah’s” in, let alone comes to any sort of conclusion. Yet, Crowley can’t obviously let him run over time, as the first two moderators did, without it mucking up the format.
There will be all kinds of Obama ringers in the crowd, primed to attack Romney.
How could you even miss with a target that size? In the words of Gabriel Iglasias she's...."Oh, hell no!" sized.....
“Sadly, she’s a vegetarian.”
Candy Crowley is a vegetarian???? LOL. I guess if you consider someone who only eats animals that eat plants a vegetarian...

[ ALL of them should be under scrutiny . . . why the hell the Stupid Party has anything to do with these 4 straight highly liberal commentators moderating a so-called debate is beyond me. What the hell is the matter with the Stupid Party? ]
Right something stinks in Denmark.. These debates have been setup for republicans to loose.. Like on purpose.. Which make Romneys win over Obama in the first one “scripted”..
If Obama hands Romney his ass in the next one you will know its true.. Like a B-movie it seems obvious to me.. WHy NO limbaugh, Levin or Malkin?.. or even O’Really?.. Van Susteran or Kelly?...
WHY?.. because it’s scripted.. The RNC is obviously complicit.. in this..
OR- IT WOULDn’T HAPPEN.. (every time)..
After “Che” Raddatz, how could Crowley be any worse?
Oh, she can be worse.
Repulsive POS
“These town hall debates frustrate me to no end”
You and me both sister. Romney’s camp never should have agreed to Candy Crowley for God’s sake of all people. First she’s a moron and second she’s a hard core lefty. Oh never mind, same thing. Without Mitt there is no debate. She will try to twist everything Mitt says and try to help Barry stutter through every question.
Sometimes I just think the GOP deserves what they get.
