Moderator Crowley became focus of debate when talked turned to Libya

NEW YORK Candy Crowleys signature moment as moderator of Tuesdays rough-and-tumble presidential debate came when she was called upon to referee a dispute over President Barack Obamas description of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of terror.
When Republican Mitt Romney questioned whether the president had done so, Crowley said, He did, in fact, sir.
Can you say that a little louder, Candy? Obama said, as the debates audience broke into applause.
Similarly, there was applause when Crowley suggested that it also took others in the administration as much as two weeks to abandon the idea that the attacks were related to protests over an anti-Islam video.
I was trying to bring some kind of clarity to the situation, Crowley said later.
