Was John Edwards boo'd at Mellencamp Concert?

Apparently there are reports out there that John Edwards was boo'd at a recent John Mellencamp concert.

While the recording of the crowd noise that comes directly from John Mellencamp website isn't the best, the audio of the crowd even singing along is hard to hear, but it is pretty clear if Edwards was being boo'd? It wasn't up near the front where the audience was since all you can really hear is applause and cheering rather than boo's when Edwards briefly makes an appearance on stage.



Quite a few of the media outlets are reporting this as Edwards was boo'd though the discussion on CNN does a great job of pointing out how divisive presidential campaigns can be and really makes me wonder if unity is going to be possible after the primary with some of the strong feelings being expressed by supporters. Then again, I remember very well how some really took issue with Howard Dean and it almost appears the attempt to make this whole booing story bigger than what it really should be is ala the fake Dean Scream moment. Yes, I'm still a Dean fan at heart :-)
