Electorate can show true colors in YouTube debate

July 23, 2007

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (CNN) – Democratic presidential candidates will face a new kind of questioning Monday night when queries for their debate come straight from America’s living rooms via YouTube.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who will moderate the debate from Charleston, South Carolina, says the video questions submitted to the YouTube Web site will showcase the electorate as much as the eight Democrats vying for the 2008 nomination.

For starters, CNN journalists are screening the questions, rather than letting Internet users select them with their votes.

Opinion:

<Somehow I have reservations about how tough and pointed the questions will be, considering it’s CNN screening them. Sounds like a fluff-ball, pro-Dem, Ted Turner rally in the making.

  1. same questions, same editors, same debate, but the questioners might do something cute like wear a funny hat, or play with their kitty.

  2. Obama says we need to go take Osama out now. But he doesn’t say HOW. None of them do. Invade Pakistan, Obama? Bomb a sovereign nation? And why doesn’t CNN pin him down and demand how he’s going to do it?

  3. i think osama is not the problem. He is A problem, and rhetoric isn’t going to fix it. Attacking soveriegn nations, especially erstwhile allies, is not a good plan.
