No doubt the latter, but Crowley should have stuck to the agenda of allowing the audience to ask the questions and then held each candidate to one reply and one follow-up rebuttal*. On three occasions, Crowley gave time to Odumbo to answer a question, a follow-up rebut to Romney's answer, and then a second follow-up rebut to rebut Romney's rebuttal. She never allowed Romney a second follow-up rebuttal. And Crowley's gaffe on Libya was monumental.Mitt asked Obama a direct question, a rules violation but you do not here the Obama side complaining. Why you might ask? Because they think they won. The winneres do not bitch about the bad calls by the Ref's, even the one's that go aganist them.
*Crowley's debate instructions: "Each candidate has as much as two minutes to respond to a common question, and there will be a [singular]two-minute follow-up. The audience here in the hall has agreed to be polite and attentive." Originally Posted by I B Hankering
