NEW YORK Candy Crowleys signature moment as moderator of Tuesdays rough-and-tumble presidential debate came when she was called upon to referee a dispute over President Barack Obamas description of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of terror.
When Republican Mitt Romney questioned whether the president had done so, Crowley said, He did, in fact, sir.

"Sit down Governor Romney! Now.....sorry about that Mr. President......please Mr. President, continue......tell us again how you were so concerned for our Embassy personnel that you could not sleep a wink that night........
Sometime what appears to most as an accident or coincidence... is not.
She violated the standards of conduct, and you KNEW that was going to happen. NONE of the debates, except the first one, were conducted professionally at all, and because we have a Usurper in the White Hut, you cannot expect any "Presidential" conduct from the whole Liberal gang.
It is an EMBARASSMENT to America when we have to look at the immature, non-professional, and outright FALSEHOODS that are spouted over and over, whereas the Record shows that this past 4 years have destroyed decades of progress, in the name of "spreading the wealth".
Madam Chairman I rise to call a point of order. The chairman is debating.
Ultra liberal media running cover for ultra liberal candidates because they cannot stand on their own web of lies.
A sad part about truth is it is a stand-alone singularity devoid of the circus fireworks mandatory to promote liberal lies the weak minded tend to embrace.
Unfreakinbelievable!
Why no one asked this?
Mr. President, ‘US soil was under rocket, mortar and small arms attack in a coordinated assault for 6 hours and you didn’t know?
Personally, I like the emphasis... Hit send again.
All of us need to hitting back at this Bull$1t.
The RNC chairman, whom I like, coming on and complaining about it is too little too late for me.
They should have never agreed to the slate of “Host” (not Moderators) for these debates.
We shoot ourselves in the foot constantly and then moan about when it bleeds.
With all due respect, it must be remembered that Ms Crowley is the only NFL linebacker to make it to a mainstream news gig. She couldn’t resist tackling the runner that broke through the defensive line.
There was nothing that Romney said to a particular question that was a 'slam dunk', 'knockout' 'homerun'.
It was his grasp of the facts in general and his demeanor that won people over to his side.
That was Biden's goal in his debate, try to belittle Ryan.
They have failed and thus, they will lose.
It is time the people in the Repub party put a stop to this media run debates. Every year we go thru this same garbage. Why would anyone even think of Candy Crowley for a moderator? How about some Republican women for moderator? Imagine what the left would do.
Can’t someone here with photo ability get a photo of Candy throwing the referee flag? Sorta like the empty chair? Correct that - a photo that “looks like” Candy so she can’t say a word.
Candy Crowly is not only a self-impressed bore/boar, we now all see that she should be censured by her profession and hand in her journalism diploma. Her purposeful abandonment of her role as “impartial” moderator during an internationally televised presidential debate will relegate her to nothing more than a shameful footnote in American history.
"Governor Romney, the President went to Las Vegas just after the Benghazi attack to clear out the terrorists threatening undecided voters in Nevada... and it is a fact, not one member of al-Qaeda has won a Vegas jackpot since then-- Check the transcript!"
Clam down, Bender. You cannot get your oil boiling again... your crankcase wouldn't stand it--
When the hell are the RNC/GOP powers-that-be grow a pair and not agree to far-left moderators? It’s “our” own fault that Crowley was debating Romney.
Candy Crowley did exactly what a debate moderator is NOT supposed to do — become the focus of the debate. It may have been the biggest moment in her career and she screwed it up royally. She should be ashamed of herself.
Think this debate was biased? Wait until the last one. Romney will be lucky to get 3 minutes to talk for the entire debate. No way in hell the moderator for that one lets obama lose.
Stop looking for ‘knockout’s and ‘homeruns’, they aren’t coming
So true. This is War and won’t be won quickly.
The Luntz focus group in a state that can have an impact is what matters.
