(CNN)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.
"What's more important, drawing a contrast with Republicans, or arguing about debates?" she asked. "Let's focus on our mission at hand. Let's focus on our task at hand.""
