[SouthBayDem]

This is KQED public television's full video of the congressional primary debate between three leading candidates running for Nancy Pelosi's open US House seat in San Francisco: Scott Wiener, Connie Chang, and Saikat Chakrabarti.

It was recorded on March 31 and shown "live to tape" on April 3 on KQED television and YouTube.

If you're wondering why this wasn't shown live on TV - well, just see the moment at the 16:00 mark where audience members were being so disruptive that the moderators had to pause the debate.
