There is a legitimate disagreement as to the role of the moderator and Romney's team should never have gone along with her comments that she would ask questions, etc., and they should have known if Crowley chose the questions there would be absurd premises like the question on Bush economic policy because Crowley actually believes Bush economic policy caused the financial crisis.

I don't think it matters because I think in the end Romney benefited from the debate more than Obama, but the polls will answer that question definitively.

Future Republican candidates will, hopefully, take a lesson from it, though -- and insist on real debates like the Lehrer lightly moderated one.

The so-called "townhall debate" isn't a debate at all. It is an opportunity for the Left to get some jabs in and to have a liberal moderator, which most of them are, inject herself into the debate.

The Crowley blunder on Libya is unforgivable, however, because a lot of viewers saw that as Romney's weakest answer, yet he proved to be 100% correct.
