I didn’t see the debate, but honestly, if Romney doesn’t let Lehrer “control the debate,” who’s going to stop him? What is Lehrer supposed to do? They’re not going to cut the cameras, turn out the lights. Why should Romney listen to a nobody like Jim Lehrer?
Romney apparently knew that he had to fight both the media and Obama in this debate. He took care of the former by simply ignoring it. The ‘debate moderator’ has no power. He’s irrelevant.

When Romney was talking about what he’d cut, he specifically mentioned PBS. That comment probably left Lerher in shock! And as an aside, Lerher looked as though he ‘s joined the Lautencorpse group. Man, he’s just OLD!
