Time's Mark Halperin has made himself useful for once by obtaining, and publishing, a copy of the 21-page memorandum of understanding that the Obama and Romney campaigns negotiated with the Commission on Presidential Debates establishing the rules governing this month's presidential and vice presidential face-offs. The upshot: Both campaigns are terrified at anything even remotely spontaneous happening. They aren't permitted to ask each other questions, propose pledges to each other, or walk outside a "predesignated area." And for the town-hall-style debate tomorrow night, the audience members posing questions aren't allowed to ask follow-ups (their mics will be cut off as soon as they get their questions out). Nor will moderator Candy Crowley. Most bizarrely, given the way the debates have played out, the rules actually appear to forbid television coverage from showing reaction shots of the candidates: "To the best of the Commission's abilities, there will be no TV cut-aways to any candidate who is not responding to a question while another candidate is answering a question or to a candidate who is not giving a closing statement while another candidate is doing so." The "best of the Commission's abilities" must be rather feeble, seeing as how almost every moment of the two debates so far was televised in split-screen, clearly showing shots of a "candidate who is not responding to a question while another candidate is answering a question." Which means some of the rules below that both campaigns stipulated to in a desperate attempt to wring any serendipity out of the events may be honored in the breach: Here's the full document: The 2012 Debates - Memorandum of Understanding Between the Obama and Romney Campaigns Poster Comment: The D&R voters love sniveling cowards.

Bullshit. The media questions the candidates all the time. It is the citizens 1 and a half hours to question the candidates without some fat dyke interrupting and running interference for the faggot Obama.

There WILL be a fat CNN dyke censoring out any good questions, that the citizens asked the D&R faggots. If it was a true townhall debate, each citizen would get two minutes to ask their question, and at least one followup question. And NO jack booted D&R moderator, except for time. Then you'd see those two NWO globalist puppets dance!
