Candy Crowley will disregard debate agreement on Tuesday
By Alicia M. Cohn - 10/16/12 01:56 PM ET
Tweet

CNN's Candy Crowley, the moderator of Tuesday night’s presidential debate, plans to disregard the rules the campaigns signed on to and wield more control in the conversation between President Obama and Mitt Romney.

Tuesday night’s debate at Hofstra University in New York, the second presidential showdown, will be a townhall organized around audience questions. The Obama and Romney campaigns agreed in advance on rules specific to the town-hall format that rule out “follow up questions” and “comment” by the moderator.

But Crowley never signed such an agreement, and told CNN in an interview on Tuesday that she plans on "facilitating a discussion" by asking follow-up questions and pressing when necessary for a response.

"They will call on Alice and Alice will stand up and ask a question. Both candidates will answer, and then there's time for a follow-up question, facilitating a discussion, whatever you want to call it," she explained. "So if Alice asks oranges, and someone answers apples, there's time to go, 'But Alice asked oranges; what's the answer to that?' Or, 'Well, you say this, but what about that?' "

The campaigns agreed on the rules of the debate in cooperation with the recommendations of the Commission on Presidential Debates. That agreement, obtained by Time’s Mark Halperin earlier this week, includes specifics regarding the town-hall debate that limit the role of the moderator from rephrasing questions, coaching questioners or opening a new topic, as well as barring the moderator from asking follow-up questions or commenting on either questions or answers given by the candidates.

The campaigns raised concerns earlier this week that Crowley might not plan to abide by the limits of the agreement. Lawyers for both Obama’s and Romney’s campaign sent letters to the Commission on Presidential Debates asking that the commission clarify Crowley’s role ahead of Tuesday night’s event.

Crowley is part of a team that pre-selected the questions to be asked by the audience at the debate. The audience was selected by the polling organization Gallup.

6. I think the foreign policy questions should be scrapped

I think the vast majority of Americans do not rank Libya, Syria or Afghanistan very highly on their priorities list. Outsourcing to China and India are the closest topics to foreign policy which I want discussed tonight.

Guess again.

In other words, the place will be packed full of repukes.

I wouldn't be that surprised to hear someone ask the President if he'd stopped beating Michelle.

These idiots truly do not live in the real world.

So you are admitting that 0bama has a problem with those areas. And let me tell you something, people do care about foreign policy especially when our ambassador gets murdered due to the incompetence  of the white house and the state department.

I do realize that some people only care about their 0bamaphone, but they are NOT the vast majority.

8. That's what I was thinking, too. Gallup? RW Poller......all that. And George II talking about

"Candy had a virus" that caused chukles amongst the Media.

I'll dig it up...in case no one remembers the "special relationship" with CHIMPY and CANDY..

 And, I was shocked he'd do that to a Female Reporter...but, she seemed to be sooo.....OKAY with that trashing of her!

If I remember correctly, not very long ago the DUmmies were complaining because people were calling Bambam names. They said that it was disgusting because even if you didn't agree with him you should respect the office.

So from now on if the DUmmies do not refer to W as President Bush or at least as former President Bush it is yet more proof of their hypocrisy.

Come to think of it, they should also refer to Romney as Governor Romney or President-elect Romney.

Must be nice to live on Mars! Naw, prolly Venus, since the atmosphere is poisonous and this DUmbass couldn't find his ass with both hands if we gave him a catchers mitt! Or, maybe Uranus! This DUmmie is totally clueless!

The fact that they sodomized him before they killed him is enough for me to warrant dropping a Nuke on the bastards!

Maybe if we kill a few million, they'll get the ****in' message!

Hillary just gave the world's smartest man in the history of the universe a lesson on how to **** somebody before they **** you. I bet there are tens of prepared responses on Bengazzigate that became obsolete right after Hillary "I'm in Peru with no media to ask questions" Clinton dropped that.

Mr. Thin Skin is going to be very upset and has already been psyched by this. Don't think Crowley will have her prepared questions and rebuttals either.  Look for Romney to twist the knife Hillary put in with a smile on his face.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
