A lot of people have said that Romney doesn’t like town halls. I thought he did fine in the primary. I am sure he has had lots of practice lately with connecting with voters in that format.
Obama isn’t a fan of town hall debates...there is a reason he pushes for traditional podium debates.

Town hall debates, at liberal universities are idiotic. In the future, if Republicans are asked to take part in a similar event at a similar college, they should make it a condition that another similar debate is to take place at Liberty University, or at Bob Jones University. Do you think libdems would accede?

Romney:
Candy, it's probably a good idea if you wait until after I've finished my answer before you interrupt. You will be free to redirect then. I appreciate you have job to do, notwithstanding your apparent preference in this campaign, and that's fine.

tag-team Romney and throw lifelines to Obama.
Yep. Romney's going to have to field questions about the dog on the roof of the family car, his "vulture capitalism" while at Bain, his callous uncaring for cancer victims and his inability to release his tax records for the past 40 years. That damned monster! What is he hiding?
Meanwhile,0bama will be beaming proudly at his record of creating a media fan-base and wowing the entitlement class with his ability to feel their pain-not to mention the fact that he's "eye candy" to the likes of the liberal harpy shrews on daytime talk shows and ass-lickers like Letterman.
UGH. Get me OUT of here.

Who says? Format? Lefties don need no steenken format. Not when it comes to propping up their hero and getting him re-elected.
Remember....the end justifies the means to these people. All they care about is Obama coming out ahead and they don't care how many rules they have to break to get that result.
This is a setup and an ambush format for Romney. But Romney's camp doesn't have to agree to it. Isn't there anyone in Romney's camp that is looking out for him? Apparently not.
"Yet, Crowley cant obviously let him run over time, as the first two moderators did, without it mucking up the format."

Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement . . . What type of crock excuse is this? I'm not party to every agreement to which my company signs with customers. But, by accepting employment in this plant, it is my responsibility to do my utmost to see that these agreements are honored.
If Crowley finds it distasteful to play such a diminished role, then she should ask to be replaced. Or both campaigns should ask her to step aside in view of her public statements to the effect that she will not honor that agreement. It is that simple.

The wafflers and Obamites wouldn’t see it that way, though, they’d claim it was a retreat, and that ‘at least Obama had the stuff to ride it out when he was down, etc. etc.’ Honor is an alien enough concept in that arena, but even more so to Donks.

Unfortunately Romney’s camp already agreed to it.
Why the GOP can’t enforce debate fairness—or even assure that our military members get to vote—I can’t understand except
for gross incompetence or perfidy.
In either case, I’m ready for a new conservative party, though I’m not sure how to get there from here.
To: mrs9x
Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement...
WHAT! She most certainly is a party to the agreement. When you accept the honor of being chosen as a moderator to these presidential debates, you implicitly are accepting the terms under which these debates were negotiated, which includes the parameteres under which you will perform your duties as moderator.
To: laweeks
“Why don’t they just say that until they have a 50-50 participation (perhaps with Rush, Hannity, Levin, Malkin) as the co-moderator”
Oh, man. Wouldn’t that be great? Malkin let loose on the dimwitted Obama/Biden freak show... sigh... dreaming...
To: mrs9x
Is she related to Obama appointed person at the state department PJ Crowley? If so how can this be partisan .
