How Did Chris Wallace Do as Debate Moderator?

Really well, says practically everyone.

What was clear, from early in last night’s debate, was that Fox News host and debate moderator Chris Wallace was in control–of his questions, the candidates, and the audience.

Before the debate, Wallace’s stated plan as moderator was to go light on intervention. “You’re there as a time keeper, but you’re not a participant. You’re there just to make sure that they engage in the most interesting and fairest way possible,” Wallace told Bret Baier in an interview Sunday before the debate.
