3. I think Crowley spoke before she could think and her tone was almost hushed.

That is why Obama asked her to repeat it Obama could barely hear her comment. Since the moderator had a direct mike audio feed those of watching clearly heard it. Add that Romney was angry and trying to get in Crowley's face she reacted in what sounded to me as mild anger then made something of a concession to Romney. Romney came off to me as a charging bully.

The whole exchange was too well played to be scripted. The Romney campaign had been making this charge for several days there is good chance Obama knew what was coming. Who knows Crowley may also have known. If they pulled this off as a planned effort both Obama and Crowley deserve an Emmy.
