Debates involving Mitt Romney are obviously a problem for ANY moderator. Romney can get out-of-control, especially when he's getting his arse kicked like he was last night. He's such a pompous, arrogant goon, that he thinks he can talk over other people. He did that to Rick Perry in the primary debates. He did that to moderator Lehr in the first debate. He did it to Candy in the second debate, showing no respect for that woman. In a very telling move, he did that to the President of the United States, demonstrating that he's among the most ignorant people in this country who can't properly give the President his just due respect simply because he's a black man.

With Romney, a moderator has to utilize extreme means to control that goon. Her fact checking was right on, since Romney is the biggest liar in presidential race history. He needs his mic shut off when his time is up.

Thumbs up for the moderator Candy Crowley. Fired? Absolutely not. Romney needs to be checked.

100% agree.....

Except, I think Candy interjected too much. Not sure if I ever remember a Moderator standing out like she did? Was she doing her job or trying to have a "debate-with-Candy-that-we-will-never-forget-moment?"

Isn't the job of moderator to present questions, give each candidate two minutes, place their hands up for time and on to the next question? Or is the moderator entitled to form his or her opinion?

lol. Page 2 in the liberal playbook?

If everyone were the same race, you would be a very bored person. Still uninformed and angry, but very bored.

Default Candy should be canned!

Romney had to debate Obummer as well as Crowley! She interrupted Romney 28 times as opposed to 6 for Obama! Disgraceful! And then she lied to protect his lie ... One of many... He made regarding Benghazi! America deserves to know the truth about the White House cover-up. Our ambassador and 2 Navy Seals and another American were murdered on American soil and our president continues to lie to to us. Why does he refuse to call terrorism- terrorism? He still refers to the killing of 11 of our
troops at Ft.
Hood by Maj. Nadal Hasan who shouted allahu akbar before gunning them down as work place violence! Everyone needs to take off their blinders about this man!!! And Candy needs to be fired! If had not been for her, obama would have been another empty suit at that debate!!

To my knowledge, she was not acting within the scope of her employment with CNN. If that's so, what basis would she be fired for? As a representative of that so called "news organization? In that case, you must be joking. She does CNN's bidding. She'll probably get a bonus!

She doesnt belong on the air
Yup, you're not biased! lol

I'd personally like to see a panel of five fact checkers sitting right up front while the debates are going on fact checking the heck out of the candidates with their results shown in real time. Maybe that would keep both candidate from lying about and/or stretching the truth. Candy gave them both a bone in this case so neither one really benefited.
