Agreed. The format was a baited trap for both candidates to complain about unequal time. Unfortunately, Govern Romney navigated the trap less skillfully than the president--he gave the impression of not knowing the rules of the game.

Agreed. I also think Romney got very flustered when Ms. Crowley agreed with the president that he had called the incident an act of terror.

My thought is that Romney either did not read the speech for himself or simply misremembered.
