Smelly Moderator

This was the most poorly moderated Debate I have witnessed in all my 40 years of watching them. I won't be surprised if MItt didnt make a big deposit in Jim's off shore account so he would allow Mitt to always have the last word and speak out of turn....... geeez

If anybody can vote for Mitt after watching that they deserve what they get!

1. It really was a horrible performance by Lehrer . . .

he's too old for today's style of politics!

2. Oh, I don' think Lehrer is corrupt, but he is old school in his approach &

apparently totally unprepared for the abusive and manipulative RETHUG approach to everything. I think he totally thought both candidates would adhere to the rules agreed upon.

That said, his approach to this debate--his decision to ignore so many critical domestic questions and failure to reign in Romney when he successfully took over the moderation from him, is unforgivable. I only hope it sends a message to the other moderators and to the DEM campaign that agreed upon the moderator choices. Scheiffer may suffer from this as well, though I consider him to be more assertive than Lehrer. Candy Crowley will be a biased mess, no matter what, but at least she's on the Town Hall and thus the questions are coming from the audience.
