Whale Ho!.....

Candy Crowley, who was suspected of being one more liberal moderator in the tank for Barack Obama, was more than just in the tank for him; she dove in and sucked all the water out for him so he could pretend he walked on water.
In the Vice-Presidential debate, Martha Raddatz, no slouch at shilling for the Democratic Party, interrupted Paul Ryan 15 times and Joe Biden only five.
Crowley made Raddatz look like an amateur. She interrupted Obama nine times, (although four of those were when he wouldn’t respect the time limit when discussing assault weapons; he went over his time limit all night long), but when it came to Mitt Romney, she was utterly beyond the pale.
Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times. 28 times. Her desperation to keep Romney from scoring points was so patently obvious that it wasn’t really a surprise when she had her infamous moment: the moment when she interrupted and falsely claimed Romney was incorrect in accusing Obama of refusing to call the Benghazi attack an act of terror.
And even beyond the interruptions, there were numerous instances where Crowley’s obvious partisanship prompted her to treat Romney with great disrespect:

Only 28 times? It seemed like doube that in the first hour before I was so disgusted that I turned it off.
Respectfully -- how could you still be undecided at this late hour? Have you decided that you want four more years of the abuse we've suffered at the hands of The Won? If not, that sounds like a decision to me.
Why does the RNC agree to let such idiots lead these debates? Imagine how different last night would have been with Chris Wallace or Brit Hume as moderator?
I have never seen a vegetarian that is that heavy.
This goes way beyond Crowley: this entire debacle was scripted by the DNC from the seleceted questions, to the Rose Garden gotcha, to the praticed stage thetrics.
Axelrod, Chicago politics, and the willing media cabal. What we witnessed is much more than mere bias—it is collusion and corruption of the political process. What we winessed may well have been criminal.
This what you get with this kind of debates. Let there be a conservative moderator and see how that would fly. Even a independent would work. As always you could see through the smoke and mirrors of this liberal cow.
That may be true, but vegetarians can have other illnesses related to the lack of protein in their diets.
Obesity is only one possible diet-related health problem. And omnivores aren't always obese either.
She landed at least one punch on Romney though, nailing him on the bipartisanship crap. “If you can get both sides to agree to it, you’ll do it?” on the AWB. Just one more reason why it’s a mistake to talk about bipartisanship as if compromising your principles to the Rat party is something to aspire to. You either stand for something or you’ll pass anything.
This was more like a show trial. A liberal moderator cherry picking questions from a group of undecided voters selected by a polling organization under legal duress from liberals in power.
the next debate will be worse
The government and its lap dog media (even with an appropriately BIG lap dog) lying to tell you a story while trying to keep you from hearing a lone challenger with a more accurate version.
Some things never change...
No, Republicans need to do a better job expressing the facts in as few words as possible. Romney spent too much time building up to his points which gave the moderator and the opponent the opportunity to say whatever they wanted. If you’re complaining, you’re losing.
(He also needed a refute Obama’s line ‘That’s not true.’ He repeated it too a fault.)
Candy Mountain was just padding her resume.
Maybe in 2016 she will get an invite to be a keynote speaker at the DNC convention.
Calibration between Obama and Crowley for that gotcha moment. Smuggish Obama tells Romney to keep talking and then tells Crowley to “get the transcript” she obeys, lifting up some papers. How else did Obama know that Crowley had a copy of his Sept 12 rose garden speech?
After wards Obama had a look of pure evil on his face. Shameful!!!
I'd say it's part of their decades long effort to be just like the Democrats.
That's "fairness" in Liberal-land.
Right, it's fair because Romney's comments had more than 3 times as much substance to them as Obama's. So, if you're going to interrupt facts fairly, you'd have to interrupt Romney more than you would Obama.
You are right the look on 0bama’s face was pure evil. Also the way the Won kept blinking rapidly last night when Romney was talking was driving me nuts. I tried to blink that much and I just got dizzy!
