Edwards said he vowed to have all combat troops out of Iraq "in my first year in office."
The focus on Clinton, Obama and Edwards drew attention away from the other four candidates. According to the Associated Press, some candidates expressed frustration that most of the questions were directed to Clinton, Obama and Edwards.
Seventeen minutes into the debate, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, had yet to get a question and asked, "Is this a debate here?"
Minutes later, Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., threw up his hands in protest that he had not been called on either and exchanged a frustrated glance with Kucinich.
Prior to the debate, Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., said he expected that, "Hilary will be more aggressive and get a better edge if the other candidates do not speak up."
Edwards and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., drew public attention to Clinton's unfavorable ratings.
"Fifty percent of the American public say they're not going to vote for her," Dodd said.
