That's how it usually is in town halls.

But it is predetermined which audience members will be called on, based on whether Crowley & co. thought their questions were good.

Example—in a random town hall of undecided voters you might go 90 minutes with no question about Libya. But out of 100s of submitted questions there will be one about Libya and it will be asked.
