lame - you're hyping this.  It was a reaction to his style.  Dodd, Biden, Richardson and HRC all called out Edwards on his style. I think they resonated with the people.

From what i've heard , the placed was packed with Clinton supporters and this really gave Hillary the home field advantage...It really scared of Obama and Edwardes because everytime they would eve try to differeciate themselves from her , the crowd would start booeing...It was horrible.

It was so bad that it got to a point the instannt Edwards would start by talking by stating Hillary's name , the crowd would just start heckling and booing.

I do think we believe some answer on who was handinng out those tickets and to who did they go to.

I think the crowd was very disrespectful and CNN did not to anything to control the rowdy crowd.

There is a lot of whining go on all of a sudden  . lol

Your candidate had a sub par night , take it on the chin and stop all this cry baby stuff.

So Obama is the " victim " now.

What you should be more worried about is that he had 2 weeks to prepare for the immigration question and he still blew it.

After 2 weeks , that doesn't seem to me like someone who can go up against Guiliani in a debate.

If you can't handle booing in a debate then what can i say .

You have to be tough . I heard all of this over and over again after the Russert debate , now some have done a 180 and are blaming everyone and thing but their candidate.

funny.

that is why they also cheered Obama, Biden and DK at various times.

Who is wondering, you on your blog and three of your friends? = )

But the fact of the matter is that the voters of Iowa are not gonna give a damn about whether some audience members in Nevada expressed their unhappiness with politicians who have grown increasingly shrill in their attacks on fellow Democrats. If anything, Iowans probably feel similar to the booing debate audience members. Remember, Gephardt and Dean brought themselves down by going at each other four years ago, thus turning off the Iowa electorate  and allowing for Kerry and Edwards to break out of single digits and win first and second place.

However, the reason a few boos directed at Edwards and Obama will not hurt Hillary is the fact that those boos have no relevance to how a family affords health care or our country gets out of Iraq or our economy becomes less dependent on foreign oil. The fact that you even believe such an inconsequential thing as some boos expressed over increasingly shrill intra-party attacks could have an impact on the race illustrates how out of touch partisans like yourself have become with the issues that actually matters to voters. While primary voters are disgusted with the gridlock and partisanship in Washngton, their disgust has less to do with the tone and more to do with how unproductive such behavior is. Do you really think Iowans are going to take it out on Hillary Clinton because her supporters no longer will stand by while Edwards and Obama act all holier-than-thou? I doubt it. They're more occupied with figuring out which of these candidates can implement the policies they espouse.

But hey, if it comforts you to believe Iowa Democrats are a bunch of Miss Manners more concerned with etiquette rather than practical questions of governance, go head - believe what you will and try to convince others of such spin. But don't be surprised when booing from Nevada debate audience members doesn't register in exit polls as one of the reasons Iowans chose a candidate when they caucus on January 3rd.

There was no staged booing, it was spontaneous in reaction to what occured on the stage.  

What is spreading like wildfire is an entirely different theme, one neither Obama fans nor Edwards fans like much a good 45 days before the Iowa caucuses.  

It certaintly shows the dreadful ethics and "anything goes" sleaze of the Clintons.

Bill Clinton shut down 4 ongoing investigations into George H. W. Bush's illegal CIA history in 1993 (that would have finished the Bush political dynasty), and Hillary will protect Dick Cheney and Georgie W. as well and keep their government records secret.

Isn't it clear by now that the Clintons have no integrity whatsoever. They stand for nothing (aside from double-talk and enabling George Bush's War).

This is the first debate where i ever witnessed a crowd attacking other democrats on behalf of another democrat.

Hillary clearly had a huge homefield advantage and it looks like the Nevada democratic party made sure the deck was stock for Clinton.

In sport , they call them the "12th man" and they can be very influential...Tonight , they really gave Hillary a huge lift by constantly attacking Obama and Edwards by not letting get any chances to differenciate themselves from the front runner.

You could tell after the constant attacks on both challenger , they stopped challenging Hillary and got intimidated by the rowdy crowd.

This is what Hillary wants...If you can no longer challenge her , then she will easily win and every clinton supporters knows this.The only way you will beat her is by challenging her.

It was horrible to just watch how the crowd completly viciously attack Edwards which i think took the worst of the attack.

They were as vicious on Obama , BUT Edwards got the full brunt of it and Edwards looked like he'd been hit by an 18 wheeler

Oh please, if they had stuck to the issues instead of trying to badmouth Hillary in front of everyone, there would have been no boo's.  My GOD, can't for once you people put the blame and responsibility where it belongs instead of creating conspiracy theories and handing out whining excuses.

Man is the anybody but Hillary crowd getting desperate. They need Hillary to stumble. If phantom conspiracies like her campaign putting people in there to boo the other candidates is the best they have than they're hopeless.

Lobbyist did not bring her down, the Kyl Amendment did not bring her down, the driver's liscence debacle did not bring her down and booing will definitely not bring her down.

Personally, I won't mind if Clinton loses Iowa, but if she wins, it will make it all the more eaiser for her supporters.

There seems to be a lunatic fringe in the party who is hell bent on destroying the front runner, destroying the COngress, knocking down rank and file Democrats at every opportunity.

Off some proof of your sick slander or crawl back into your Green hole.

No matter who it hurt, it's incredibily TRASHY to boo OR cheer at such an event.  It was incredibly shameful.  But so was the entire debate.

Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?
