Crowley
Michelle Malkin; Even some in the old media are fed up, so when will the GOP push back?

"Last week, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the names of 2012’s chosen referees: CNN’s Candy Crowley, PBS’s Jim Lehrer, and CBS’s Bob Schieffer will preside over the three presidential debates; ABC’s Martha Raddatz will host the sole vice-presidential debate. The debate panel trumpeted the gender diversity of its picks, but the chromosomal diversity is far outweighed by the political uniformity, class conformity, and geographical homogeneity of the group."...:.If the 2012 GOP presidential ticket won’t push back, then who will? If not now, then when?"

Want to know who chooses these debate "moderators"? This will tell you: Bring on the Gingrich Debating Offense: 10 Democrats 3 Republicans Choose Debate Moderators

"Do you expect We The People to fix the problem? We are powerless, but at this very late date, give us a suggestion and we’ll try to do your job for you. In the meantime, start talking about it. Put Paul Ryan on it. Those who select the moderators are 10 Democrats to 3 Republicans. Get to a microphone and tell “The People” what to expect."  Via  Maggie's Notebook

Will there be hostile questions to Romney and soft-ball queries to Obama?  Will the array of questions be designed to make Romney look bad and Obama look good?  You can bet on it.
