About 200 anti-war protesters are rallying outside the Kodak theater in Hollywood where Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are facing off in their final debate before Super Tuesday.
Nasser Faris said he came Thursday to send a message to the Democratic candidates that they should pull the American troops out of Iraq.
Carrying signs that read "Funding war kills troops," the protesters were joined by other demonstrators showing their support for state ballot propositions and trying to draw attention to youth issues.
Meanwhile, hundreds of supporters of Clinton and Obama crowded into the outdoor courtyard at the Hollywood and Highland shopping center near the Kodak theater.
