“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 shows that 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.”
