Will George Stephanopoulos pull a Crowley when he moderates debate?
vanity

Posted on 10/29/2014 4:42:48 PM PDT by airedale

We all remember when Candy Crowley put he fingers on the scale during the debate between Obama and Romney that changed the momentum of the debate from Romney to Obama. Will George do it in the New Hampshire Senate race. Considering his work with Shaheen during Clinton campaign and his close ties to Mandy Greenwald who is working on Shaheen' s campaign. If so what's your guess on what it will be?

Second h o w could Brown and his staff been so negligent in allowing this moderator? Does he have someone like Nicole Wallace advertising him?

Third was the fan problem in the Scott, Crist debate another example of a Crowley? The rules were negotiated with both candidates and the debate sponsors. As soon as the Crist team installed the fan which was specifically prohibited the debate sponsors had an obligation to immediately remove it. They didn't then they allowed Crist to appear on the stage and blamed Scott for the situation. The sponsor if I remember correctly was a media consortium which probably leans left.

I always wonder the same. They don’t play bare knuckles the way democRATs do. It’s a political miscalculation, yet that is the business they are in. You would think eventually they would be good at it.

Someone should ask Stephanopoulos if he has had communication with anyone on Shaheen’s staff in past two weeks. Ask it on camera.

That’s a good question. That’s why I was wondering if they had their own version of Nicole Wallace who was the communication director for the McCain campaign with specific assignment to Sarah Palin and voted not for the candidate she was working for rather she voted for Obama. She has also said on The View from what I read she like Hillary for President.

It looks like the Brown Campaign went preemptive on this. Someone (who knows who? /sarc) earlier today released a bunch of information showing Stephie's past association with Shaheen, and his collaboration with her top consultant Mandy Grunwald.

Brown then got to comment on it, saying that of course he was sure Stephie would be unbiased and impartial.

But make no mistakes, a message was sent. And close enough to the debate to make Stephie rethink any sabotage questions ... the LAST thing Stephie really wants is to try to sandbag Brown and have him ready with something like this

I have wondered about that for many years. Sort of reminds me of Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football.

BTW, “The League of Wemyn Voters” is not a non-partisan organization.

That would be a Deliberate Crowley. The only question is was it done in coordination with the Obama campaign or did he do it on his own based upon his experience as a top Democratic Party spinner. I have seen no evidence one way or the other to come to a conclusion

Has Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity ever hosted a debate? Probably not because the Democrats would never agree to it.

Why has this not been proposed? It is only fair. Great idea!

The answer to that is easy. Of course I was. I was working on news stories about the campaign and I was also in contact with the Brown campaign.. That won’t prove coordination. You’d need recordings or a deep throat and the MAN would bury it.

This mid term election should be about Harry Reid and the piles of bills he has not allowed to go forward and be addressed....his desk should be impounded for evidence of criminal intent....it should also be about Lois Lerner and her willingness to preform criminal acts for her boss, attempted to squash Amarican rights for a difference in beliefs. This election should be about any elected congressman or senator who went along with trashing the United States Constitution by voting for unconstitutional bills/laws. Anyone who stood by and let this POTUS trounce our law of the land, the U.S.Constitution should be either voted out of office or not voted for.

Stand rup Americans ...it's your country......want it run by Reid or Pelosi?

Is everyone in this world stupid?

George “the activist” Stephanopoulos interjected himself, bizarrely into a Republican primary debate in 2012. He posed a question to Romney, on contraception, that was not on a topic being discussed. It was bizarre. Everyone thought he was wasting time. But his little interrupting, unrelated, freak outburst was the seed which the press used to coin the term “war on women.”

The fact that he is allowed to moderate is simply insane. That a Republican will go along with it shows you why Republicans are too stupid to win elections.

What a pathetic political system America has.

Brown, while on Fox News on Wednesday morning, said he does have some “concerns” about this.

“I don't have any doubt that George will be fair and impartial. I obviously have concerns, had concerns.


What a moron.

Stephy will as always do his best to boost the Dem and torpedo Brown. How stupid is the Brown camp to allow this?

Sample Stephy question:

“Mr. Brown, what are your plans to deny women access to contraceptives?”

What would be the purpose of being in contact with the Shaheen team, if not to coordinate the questions and answers?
