Democratic Party Takes Debate to YouTube
The Democratic Party reached out to the digital generation during its scheduled South Carolina debate between presidential candidates by broadcasting video questions submitted by users of the YouTube website. Instead of a panel of journalists or political experts, the evening featured regular people and real voters with their own set of questions. CNN sponsored the debate and sifted through over 3,000 videos before selecting about 50 for the event. Those videos were aired during a two hour question and answer format with the eight Democratic candidates.
