Krauthamer said Obama won on points and Romney failed to take the opening when Obama said that he DID say it was terrorism the day after and Crowley cut Romney off saying that Obmama was right.

obama just lost the gang-banger vote.

Naah. Street gangs are very important for the commie left. They've always stood firmly behind them.

Is anyone asking why in the world Candy Crowley had a transcript of Soetoro’s 9/12 Rose Garden speech sitting in front of her?

(and if someone says it was a tablet, how many other misstatements was it used to correct?)

"Krauthammer gives obama the win. "

Can you win a debate when your comments are known lies?

Crowley was disgraceful. Beyond the procedural (cutting Romney off and not affording him the same opportunities to rebut she afforded Obama), she preselected the questions which were basically Dem talking points.

I thought Romney missed a great opportunity when Obama was criticizing tax cuts as a “cost” and framed cuts as “government spending”.

“It’s - not - the - government’s - money!” should have been the retort followed with a WTH are you talking about look. Coulda put this commie away... a “there you go again” moment

Brit Hume said that Crowley was wrong. Obama just said gin the Rose Garden that in general terrorism was bad, but Obama DID NOT say specifically, or call the Bengazi attack an act of terrorism.

I have not seen the transcript of Obama’s statement on that day but Greta has it online now.

Luntz said the reaction with his focus group going favorable for Romney was as significant as Denver with a big switch of undecideds tonight going to Romney.

"Crowley was disgraceful."

Yes, she was. She didn't challenge Obama on any of his statements, yet she challenged Romney over the "terror" comment, and it turns out he was right. Fox said their official figures show she gave Obama and extra 2 minutes to speak.

Two crucial issues where there were loss of life, Benghazi, fast n furious.......Crowley ran interference for Obama, cut Romney off and moved on. Even admonished Romney with what O Supposedley sid in his soeech. Regarding F&F, Obama closed it down even saying there are people with other questions. The moo moo once again gave O unchecked power.

I saw Luntz’s group also. I’m totally wowed by how they turned in favor of Romney. Said it was as significant as Denver.

I believe Candy did an excellent job moderating as well.

Call me a troll, if you will.

None of Sarah’s responses were any indication of ‘troll’ activity, and your comment proves you wouldn’t know a troll from the opposite end of your mouth.

You seem to be a poster who likes to ban anyone who says something they don’t believe or like. Why don’t you just rebut her claim ? Is it because you like the EASY BUTTON ?

Crowley did a good job. Biased some? Sure. As far as trying to keep them on track, and get in all the questions, and yet allowing them to ‘have their say’, she did better than the moderator at the first debate.

Even with her help, did you consider it a win for Obama ?

Can you even remember anything he said ?

I meant to say Fox’s unofficial figures, not official.

The subtle wins tonight?

OH and PA...

By accident with the questions Romney gave them the answers they needed on Coal, Oil / Gas Fracking and the 2nd Admendment.

Move the needle big nationally? probably not, Seal Ohio and PA definitely...

Remember that claim that last weeks Frank Luntz/FNC/Hannity undecided focus group was a Democrat setup because they gave some points to Biden, and about 3/4 of them voted for Obama in 2008? Remember I strongly disagreed?

Well just minutes ago the same focus group about 3/4 of them said they are now voting for Romney after this debate. That is a flip of 1/2. That is much more informative than a sample of Rush 24/7 members as some seem to want to poll.

Romney had few weak points but he was generally strong confident looking and he looked Presidential.

Libs on the Dem channel claiming victory LOL.
