The Internet has democratized everything and tonight it will democratize democracy in a dramatic way. The first of the six official Democratic debates will take place (although as the Washington Post points out, it hardly feels like the first), sponsored by CNN and YouTube. The candidates will line up in South Carolina for traditional televised debate on CNN but the questions will come from us, via YouTube.
Over 1,500 video questions have been submitted and four dozen of those will air during the debate. Community Counts has all the videos here, organized by how many votes each video received from Community Counts’ visitors. The top rated video (see below) is a great question.
Contender John Edwards will be hosting a live webcast following the debate and has promised to answer the top two questions on Community Counts.
This is truly a watershed moment in both the Internet and politics, and it changes the election process forever. Don’t miss it.
