I was a champion (state) debater in HS. Granted that was more than two decades ago now, but still. That was the worst moderation I've ever seen. Even on a HS level. Debates have rules, and Romney walked all over them, spewing a stream of lies as he went. I get that people were angry he got away with that. Still, this isn't HS, and there's a lot more at stake than a medal and a trophy. Obama was in a situation where he was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't.
It was unpleasant to witness, to say the least. So, I get how some people reacted who are honest Obama supporters. Then there's those here who were salivating over the debate to feed their unrest. Trying to make it into something it wasn't.
In the end, I don't see it as having any lasting damage to the elections outcome unless it's repeated. Which I find highly unlikely. So, let the haters froth. They live for it, it's all they have to bring them joy in the world. Sad as that is.
