Do you remember what happened the last time CNN was in charge of a high-stakes “town hall” style campaign debate?

I do. Flashback: CNN/YouTube/plant debacle.

Refresher:

Concerned Young Undecided Person “Journey” = John Edwards supporter “Journey”

Concerned Undecided Log Cabin Republican supporter David Cercone = Obama supporter David Cercone

Concerned Undecided Mom LeeAnn Anderson = Activist for the John Edwards-endorsing United Steelworkers union LeeAnn Anderson

Concerned Undecided Gay Military Retiree Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr = Hillary/Kerry supporter and anti-”Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” activist Keith H. Kerr

It didn't matter...Obama had more "energy" but Romney showed that he's going to be the next President. President Romney knew he was going into the Hornets' Nest, and he prepared accordingly.

For President Romney, it was good practice for him to deal with the Washington Inside-the-Beltway media.,

Kill the “Commission on Presidential Debates”. It’s useless, though the GOPe may like it.

Recall the cheers from the “undecided” audience members when Crowley came to Obama’s aid regarding the alleged “act to terror” utterance made in the Rose Garden.

Charlie shouldn't let Lucy hold the football.

Republicans shouldn't let the MSM host debates.

“Charlie shouldn’t let Lucy hold the football.

Republicans shouldn’t let the MSM host debates.”

I’m sure without that leftist hag moderating there wouldn’t have been a debate; Romney still did a good job against both of the people he debated tonight.

There is NO reason that debate hosts must be major news networks and news “anchors.” That decision alone leads to highly biased debates.

If the RNC had any stones at all, they would send delegates to the Debate Commission and would insist that debates be hosted by Dr. Sowell of the Hoover Institution, Larry Arne of Hillsdale College, and James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute.
