Obama Romney 2nd Debate: The Role of the Moderator

  Candy Crowley, the moderator of the second presidential debate moderator, has given rise to controversial talks. Even before the debate, both Obama and Romney's campaign have been concerned that Candy will go beyond her role and ask harder questions. She had stated her intention to assert herself in the debate and prod candidates when necessary. And I believe that she did go beyond her role. During the conversation about terrorism, Romney questioned whether the President called the killing of the US ambassador in Benghazi an "act of terror". However, Candy, in an act of protecting President Obama, said that the president did say it was a terrorist attack. Also, Candy asserted some of her personal opinions during the debate. In the end, Candy was actually wrong because the president didn't clearly state that the killing of the US ambassador was an act of terror until much later.
  Also, I believe that Candy's moderating had a flaw because even she continued to say that she wouldn't have enough time for all of the audiences to ask their questions. This means that her time management isn't good enough, even though Romney didn't follow the rules for the debate.
