>> As it was, he was always pressured for time. I often felt like the moderator was waiting for an opportunity to cut him off in hopes that Obama might be able to stammer around long enough to say something intelligent. :) I just don't get the complaints against Lehrer. My liberal facebook friends started flipping out immediately that the moderator wasn't doing his job. IMO, staying out of the way and letting the candidates go at each other is his job, and he did it just fine. It was a real debate, for a change.

Re: Romney's debate performance. He could only have done better if he had had more time and could REALLY have gotten into his subjects. Therein lies the issue - the moderators in the next two debates are going to try to keep a lid on it, not let Romney go over his time. Where Lehrer said, "Mr. Romney, what do you say to what President Obama said," you'll have, "Ding! Time's up. Next question is..." Recall that Bob Shieffer is the moderator for the last debate.
