Upfront and full disclosure--I am a Barack Obama supporter.
I was floored to hear Hillary get booed at the democratic debate last night. I would not consider the AFL-CIO the far left wing of the democratic party, and while Hillary may not be the first choice for some of its members, I am sure most feel a democrat would be significantly more considerate to their labor causes than any of the republican candidates!
If you're interested, there's a link on this page to watch the entire debate: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...
Of the following links below, the Sun-Times is probably the most representative of all the stories. The Politico did say Hillary was booed in the middle of their report. The rest of the media outlets just used generic terms, like jeered.

I just knew that Sen. Clinton getting booed would be among the headlines coming out of the debate! But, to my surprise, the MSM blew it off like it was no big deal!
We hear/read on an almost daily basis how Sen. Clinton is maintaining or increasing her lead in the polls over the rest of the democratic field. Well, if she's the clear-cut frontrunner, why in the H-E-double hockey sticks would one of the most consistent constituents of the democratic party boo the leading candidate? That sounds like news to me! What am I missing?
