both campaigns have complained about her. We can only hope they kick her out. To end with abysmal moderators, the 3rd will be Bob Shaefer. Ugh to all of the pukey repukes.

3. Thankfully, she moderates the debate where the moderator matters least

If she had the one after this, she'd be answering questions for Mitt.

So, CNN's Candy Crowley, who is going to moderate tomorrow's townhall-style presidential debate, wants to interject herself into the Q & A of the contenders by the public despite that not being what either campaign agreed to.

Candy Crowley is in the bag for mitt romney. Cnn called Biden's debate a draw even though their online poll showed Biden clearly the winner.

9. What is wrong with this person moderating the debates?

I honestly don't know who Candy Crowley is. I think i have heard the name once or twice but since I don't watch cable news, I have no clue who this is. How is she so awful?

but I would take these peoples word for it. She sounds horrible but I am confident that Obama will be amazing and I couldn't care less how the media wants to spin it.

15. I'm stuck watch CNN as it is the only American network in Korea, so yes take our word on that one

I can't stand Crowely either (or Wolf Blitzer). Unfortunately it does matter how the media spins it as they are trying to control the outcome of this election. I have written CNN to complain about their coverage after someone on an Obama mailing list sent out the suggestion with a link. The non-election coverage isn't bad, but the election coverage sucks.

I don't get it either. People can kvetch all they want but no one from MSNBC, Current, or FOX (from the R perspective) will ever get mutual approval.

After 8 years of her pushing the bush-cheney agenda on cnn and continuing her water carrying for the gopropaganda machine cnn.. She's clearly biased for Plutocrats.

A lot of us have our eyes, ears, and memories over the years to tell what we need to know about Candy.

... How she's going to conduct... The town hall format is intended to have audience members asked questions, unfiltered. Moderator is essentially a referee to keep order.
