MANCHESTER, N.H.—Across the Saint Anselm College campus from where the actual ABC/WMUR/Facebook debates are taking place tonight, about 100 demonstrators wield their signs and messages in a fenced-in "demonstration" area guarded by police officers and live TV crews.

The Dennis Kucinich crowd wears duct tape over their mouths, labeled "media censorship" in protest of ABC News leaving Kucinich out of tonight’s debate. The Ron Paul crowd hollers and argues with police officers about where they’re supposed to be standing, Barb Barrett reports.

About three dozen supporters from the Hillary Clinton camp face off with the same numbers from the Barack Obama side, alternating chants and hoisting signs like fans at a football game.

"Hill-a-ry! Hill-a-ry!" one side chants as TV cameras move in close.

"O-baaaam-a!" the other side hollers. "O-baaaam-a!"

John Edwards supporters were nowhere to be seen.
