Candy Crowley is one of the more partisan Dem reportes out there. Of course she’s going to try to open her fat mouth to cut off Romney when he’s on a roll and save Obama when he starts to stutter and stammer.
Remember this: Crowley’s goal at this debate is not to host a good debate. Its to do everything she can to turn this into a “turning point” so that Obama and the press can start a “comeback” narrative. She’s looking for praise from her fellow reporters as the person who turned this back around for Obama. She wants to have an interview like Katie Couric had with Sarah Palin. One that was perceived as stopping the McCain - Palin momentum.
