Bumble... What is wrong with special interest groups...
Well here is a simple thought that even my 10 year old could give a reasonable thought on. When you sale out to special interest groups your interest is no longer to the American People, but to the special interest group. When you become president you should have in mind what can i do for the people to get things in a right frame of mind. It is unreasonable yet irresponsable to claim as president that the special interest group that you sold out to knows best because if that were true why dont we just nominate the special interest group as president

I was shocked by the boos as well, but even more shocked at CNNs total disrespect for the other candidates. They didn't even hardly let them speak.

There were a few more vocal Hillary supporters in the audience than there were Edwards supporters. They thought the "attack" was unfair, but actually it is a very reasonable and important issue to debate and discuss. We all want a president who will broadly represent the interests of the nation and who will not cater to special interest groups.
Hillary avoided answering and stated in a semi-self righteous tone that she was being "attacked" and that Democrats should not do this to each other. It actually was a typical Republican type answer! Although Democrats should cooperate on the floor of the House and Senate, they certainly should debate during a debate! They are there as adversaries. She should have discussed how she was NOT beholden to special interests and then challenged Edwards on his relationship to hedge funds and sub prime mortgage brokers.
It truly bothers me that the media portrayed Hillary as winning this debate. She was evasive and abrasive throughout.

He'd just said that he wasn't going to get into personal attacks or mud slinging, then he mentioned Hillary.

Probably Clinton plants in the audience. The Clintonites can't handle the truth.

Democrats believe Hilary will be the nominee and do not like attacks that will weaken her in the general election.

everybody takes money from special interest groups...anyone who says they don't is either lying or financing their campaign out of their own pockets

Most likely, cue cards. lol
It was wrong and should not have been allowed. The audience repeatedly shut down her opponents.
Totally unfair.

I agree.
But consider the mentality of people who would actually support Hillary.
Hillary would sell out America, just as she sold her soul
to the devil long ago.

Her organization has large numbers of members in every crowd. They do this against any competitor, not just hair-boy.

liberals have had a hard time for a while facing the obvoius, hence the booing.
