Wasserman Shultz heckled with calls for more debates. Good. [View all]

Calls for more Democratic presidential primary debates grew so loud at a party convention in New Hampshire Saturday that the party's chairwoman had to raise her voice during her opening remarks and break from her speech to shout back at attendees.

Chants of "More debates" and "We want more debates" -- as well as some boos -- greeted Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz when she took the stage at the New Hampshire Democratic Party convention in Manchester. Although she largely stuck to her scripted remarks, which focused on how the party can retain the White House next year, she paused at one point to respond to the protesters.


SNIP with a hat tip to real small "d" democracy.


Most of the chants came from the non-delegate section -- an area set aside for people who paid to attend but are not delegates to the convention.
