The town-hall debate is the one presidential faceoff in which the audience gets to ask the questions.
But don’t tell that to moderator Candy Crowley.
Like any journalist worthy of the assignment, Crowley concedes that the debate on Tuesday night isn’t about her, but she just as eagerly acknowledges her role in it.

Audience questions will be submitted in advance for the CNN TubOLard to review and choose. Anything with more than 2 vowels will not be put to Obama, and quadratic equations regarding interstellar physics will be Romney’s fare.

The legal document signed between the two campaigns define the role of the moderator in each of the three different debates. The town hall type debate was to be one that the moderator had “minimal input” except to keep the debate within the agreed rules. This debate was to be about what the people ask not what Candy Crowley wants to ask.
If the Commission on National Debates has any integrity they will pull Candy Crowley from the debates.

Yep. The whole thing will be nothing but a lifeline for Obama to help him come back from his disastrous performance in the previous debate.

Romney should have never agreed to a Town Hall debate. Obama is a community organizer. This is where he shines. This will be pure theater, probably set up like a meeting using the Delphi technique.
When Crowley says that she can intervene and ask, “What about x, y and z, she means that she will try to belittle the questioner, and make the questioner seem out of touch, as well as Romney, if she doesn’t like the question. In other words, she might take a question that sounds as though it is pro-Romney, and then add questions of her own that defend Obama and turn the question back on Romney.

“If the Commission on National Debates has any integrity “
If they did the moderator and the TV network would have to sign the contract also.

She is right. She is a slimy slug that crawls up a wall on a film of mucous.
