I have gained a lot new found respect for Candy Crowley

[NNN0LHI]

I didn't think she had it in her to be fair and equitable. But she did.

I was pleasantly surprised.

1. Agreed

[dballance]

2. I thought she did a very good job

Apparently the female moderators are going to far outshine the male ones in their ability to keep things under control.

3. The moment she stated that terrorism was in Obama's Rose Garden speech..

a late night MSNBC commentator congratulated her on her knowledge and her courage..if she was wrong she would have pilloried......or. She had good notes.

She was great..surprised many of us..

4. Clearly a shining moment!

[Atman]

5. I don't.

I think she did a good job, but one night doesn't change my opinion of her. My guess is that she knows she's considered a Republican shill, and was just trying not to make it obvious. She was compensating, trying not to be called out as biased. Even her telling Romney that he was wrong about Benghazi was weak, and she actually gave Mitt more with her "yes, it did take 14 days" follow up comment.

13. Thank you! There was a reason Obama asked her to repeat what she said.

6. Mitt pissed her off early on--big mistake on his part.

You don't beat up on the moderator and expect her to take it. Candy Crowley saw what happened to Jim Lehrer had no intention of being Romney's punching bag.

[Chorophyll]

7. Yup. Which is another example of extremely poor judgment on the part of the Mitt Machine.

Stomp all over a moderator who might be sympathetic toward you? Genius.

[marions ghost]

14. huge mistake

Rombot had a sympathetic moderator, but NOT with all that early attempt to grandstand and bulldoze her.

He couldn't hide it--his basic contempt for uppity women.

Candy did what she had to do.

10. Your new found respect won't last long

Candy will be playing hard to keep her job and will basically recant everything she said about Libya and will not defend her statements in any way. Just wait

[watercolors]

11. We were plasantly surprised also.

Expecting the worse, must say she did very well!

[NoMoreWarNow]

12. I agree- she was better than I hoped

[FSogol]

15. Me too, I owe her an apology. n/t
