Romney needs to do a preemptive strike against media bias . His opening line should include:”If you Candy Crowly interrupt me or allow Obama to interrupt me , if the questions you picked are gotcha questions against me then you prove the media is biased to the American people” and every time Candy interrupts him , he should call her out for media bias.

You learn something new everyday! I have been at 20 per page. I never saw that you could change it. I’m at 50 per page now :)

I just heard on Fox News that Candy will be able to ask follow up questions even tho both sides didn’t want that. I won’t hold my breath for fairness. I think Mitt will hold up to whatever is thrown at him. He is pretty sharp.

I hope that cartoon contains an element of truth. I hope he is so pressured and overwhelmed that he just draws blank after blank.

How to stop that Candy moderator from talking over Romney?

The first time she 'interjects' into the debate, Romney (or Obama) should just say to her and the audience that 'this is a townhall where the people, not the moderator, asks the questions' and then ignore her injection/question.

Wow.

Will FR crash before, during, or immediately following the first question?

All of the above.

Yes and call her out for media bias.

Romney needs to do a preemptive strike against media bias . His opening line should include:”If you Candy Crowly interrupt me or allow Obama to interrupt me , if the questions you picked are gotcha questions against me then you prove the media is biased to the American people” and every time Candy interrupts him , he should call her out for media bias.

Yep, the fix is in; however, people are not dumb. The undecideds will break for Romney even as the media proclaims Obama the big winner.

I keep my page number at 50 and it works fairly well (all things considered). Last debate, I would hit the refresh button and if it connected, it would happen after about 8-10 seconds. If it took as long as 15 seconds, I ususally got the “failure to connect” message, so after a while I would just automatically hit the refresh button again after 15 seconds. I think the longest I was out was about 2-3 minutes.

I am going to believe in miracles and hope that Candy decides to be a real journalist and hit Obama with wanting some clear answers on Benghazi!

That audience will have so many 'plants' in it that it could be mistaken for a garden.

Maybe in the first debate when he reinforced the empty chair label.
