Is audience participation (booing, clapping) allowed at tonight's debate?

I hear a lot of knuckledraggers chanting in the background. It looks like Willard / Lyan may have bused in a lot of supporters or maybe it's just because it's Kentucky. If participation is allowed, I really hope that we have enough of a presence to drown out the rethugs!

Why didn't they pick better times and locations for these debates?!?!
