Washington Post ^ | October 17, 2012 | AP

NEW YORK — Candy Crowley’s signature moment as moderator of Tuesday’s rough-and-tumble presidential debate came when she was called upon to referee a dispute over President Barack Obama’s description of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of terror.

When Republican Mitt Romney questioned whether the president had done so, Crowley said, “He did, in fact, sir.”

I keep hearing sports metaphors being used for these debates.

No one is 'putting' anyone away.

The debates are not to knock someone out.

They are to let the American People see each candidate unfilterd.

Romney has done what he needed to do, he has shown the American People he is able to be President and Obama has failed.

Stop looking for 'knockout's and 'homeruns', they aren't coming.

Yup. Obama’s entire campaign has been centered upon disqualifying Romney as a credible alternative. The debates have upended this strategy.

Crowley's dirty work didn't help much.

Frank Luntz focus group of mostly of former Obama voters say they now support Mitt Romney

Video Pt. 1 Here

Video Pt. 2 Here

"A Frank Luntz focus group made up mostly of former Obama voters say they now support Mitt Romney."

"Forceful, compassionate, presidential," one participant said.
"Confident and realistic," said another.
"Presidential," another told Luntz.
"Enthusiastic," another reacted.
"Our next president," one man said.
"Dynamo, winner," said one more.

"He's lied about everything. He lied to get elected in 2008, that's why I voted for him.
I bought his bull. And he's lied about everything, he hasn't come through on anything.
And he's been bullsh***ing the public," one member of the focus group said."

She tried to turn the tide against Romney. She didn’t. She did succeed in looking like the fool she is. And Obama was right there hiding behind her skirts like he does with Jarrett and his wife.

The RNC needs to send a set of pom poms and an obama hat to her in care of CNN news.

Hussein lied. Crowley protected him. She lied. They both lied. Now their lies stay front and center until the next debate where Libya will be the story.

Then you weren’t watching the 1st debate. If that wasn’t a homerun I don’t know what was. Even Democrats were saying another loss tonight would have finished Obama off. If you don’t like sports metaphors fine, but the result is the same.

I think the man who said he’s heard enough of Obama’s bullsh!t... pretty much summed it up.

When they mentioned Benghazi,”Libya” our first Gay President thought they said “labia” and has been running away ever since.

The story talked about around the watercooler this morning will be how the moderator was a cheerleader for hussein.
