Do you think there is a conflict of interest? If Mrs. Romney had a sorority sister working for a Fox News panel, do you think that wouldn't be brought up every night?
"Martha Raddatz (ABC) has a connection with Barack Obama going all the way back to their days at Harvard. They worked on the Harvard Law Review together, and Obama attended her 1991 wedding. Fast forward to the present, and President Obama has appointed Raddatz’s husband, Julius Genachowski, to the Federal Communications Commission. Genachowski is also an Obama campaign bundler, meaning that he is a major fundraiser for the president’s re-election effort. That storyline alone raises questions of corruption and rewarding political supporters with powerful federal posts. Yet ABC insists that Raddatz has no conflict of interest in moderating the debate."

It's the Obama way. Load the deck. I mean heck sakes, he doesn't want to lose another one. But I degress. Raddatz will probably be fair and balanced. Heh, Heh Heh!
She was great!!! She reigned them in when necessary and asked specific questions. For the most part, but not always repeated the question when their answers were not specific to the questions. Get over the conspiracy theory.
Reined them in? Hardly. She stepped on Ryan's answers and even questioned them. She's a patsy for the Democrats, and if there were a similar care where the moderator were a personal friend of Romney, the Dems would have raised such a fuss we'd still be hearing it. She's also a friend of the Bidens. Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times--a good moderator might have stopped that midway through so we could hear the responses.
Here's how good the moderator was: "By unofficial media counts, Mr. Biden interrupted the Republican some 80 to 100 times. Mr. Ryan let the bully get away with too much for our tastes, at least until he finally pushed back on the interruptions or until Mr. Biden lost steam in the last half hour. But as anyone who's been in a tavern past midnight understands, it's hard to win a fight with a guy who is shouting from the corner bar stool." WSJ, 10-12-12
