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.
THEY SHOULDN'T AND IT IS POLITICAL MALPRACTICE TO ALLOW IT.
I don’t know and I suspect it’s because they just don’t get it.
George and the other "progressive" moderators sometimes phrase a question, address the opponent of the moderator's preferred candidate in a challenging manner, and, by other less-than-subtle means, attempt to influence viewer opinion.
Hagan attempted to "help" George by repeatedly pointing out that her opponent was not answering the question he had posed--all of which made her appear school-marmish and petty. Her preachy tone and manner overwhelmed whatever favorables George was attempting to achieve for her; but, he did try.
This thread was the first I heard of it, but checking online, see this:

Because they are not serious about regaining the WH — they are just going through the motions.
With people like that running the Republican Party, and considering their poor judgment, we definitely need St Michael, the Archangel.
Yeah, I think Stephanopoulos is a joke.
Or better yet:
“George, do you still beat your gay lover or is it his turn tonight?”
I said he’d have an easy answer and it would be readily accepted by the MAN, I should have added there was no requirement that it be the truthful.
