the david package ideally taxes dot com welcome to the show or live on youtube monday through thursday two p_m_ eastern eleven a and pacific welcomed everybody watching from the i'd love it when i wake up in the morning of rock obama is president face book page of course as well as the we survive bush you'll survive obama face book page uh... debate number twos tonight will be doing instead analysis after the debate a lot of uh... questions about will brock obama's debate performance be better that it was in the first debate will it be the same will it be worse i guess those are kind of the three options i'm hoping would be like yet what we what would that be like we don't know i'm hoping that uh... you know what i'm hoping for those of course i'm hoping that we see a bronco borrow more rep reminiscent of joe biden's performance in the vice presidential debate but we'll see what happens let's talk about the controversies that are brewing here candy crowley from c_n_n_ is in the moderator tonight it turns out both campaigns are particularly thrilled ripped understatements candy crowley has made the reason according to time magazine's mark halperin is that crowley is at crowley park rowly i don't know how to go but she goes by on ever hurt is cruelly i've got a little bit more standard that's the case in any case uh... candy crowley is trying complaints according to mark alfred because she publicly said she wants to play someone an active role in the debate instead of just letting the audience that is a townhall debate but it is letting the audience ask all the questions i have to tell you understand will get to the memorandum of understanding that exist there i think that jim lehrer in in the first presidential debate was not very good i think that martha raddatz indeed vice presidential debate was actually quite good in in trying to get some specificity from the candidate of what's your take louis on what what should the moderator be doing and certainly the role is somewhat different if it's a roundtable debate or if it's a town hall depends on the situation with these presidential debates a ridiculous they go on and on and they know uh... date dodged questions they pay that they uh... phase shifts they just state talking points when even when questions are very specific uh... sole moderator should have i think a moderator should have complete control and be able to students stop them be able to re-ask questions to ask more specific and follow-up questions and uh... on the arms of departed i think the moderator should be in control so let's look before we get some more thoughts on this at the statement that candy crowley made but she said that she would she did an interview with the huffington post and she said a couple of different things she said i think does so having a posted so you see your ultimate role as being there to facilitate their conversation with each other and candy crowley said i think that's one of the roles the expectations are enormous from people my inbox is filled with questions you're going to disappoint people so i think the idea is try to add to the body of knowledge that is out there in whatever way you can't i think it's best when these guys engage with each other but that doesn't mean i want to get to them if that gets closer to what we need uh... it i think she's right spot on there what's your sense of bearing in mind townhall means the audience ask questions how fair is it for for about candy crowley to be editorializing on those questions are expanding you know i think that the moderators role in this debate should just be to make sure that the candidates answer the questions that are being asked by people and if it's necessary ask a fall questions so i think that that you don't have to be partisans who do they really have to do is take a look at the answers and so you know you have and really answered this and be clear on that
