It starts at 7 PM on Monday Night. It is a so called "youtube debate", so I'm guessing it could be pretty bad. We shall see.

So, the candidates will be debating between clips of anime while Linkin Park music plays loudly?

That would be my guess.

No, it means that viewers submit their questions via Youtube.  But CNN will still decide which of the submitted questions get asked, so there's still the media filter.  Thus, I'm not really sure what the point is.

Youtube doesn't have the technology for live streaming.

I hope that in the debate wrap up they show Some of the candidates videos that are from Youtube. That would be interesting,  , to see who really is utilizing Youtube to the fullest.

However, I hope they fix the sound on these videos. Half the videos I look at on Youtube, the sound is messed up. So I hope that's fixed. And I hope the debates consist mainly of candidates ANSWERING questions. too many of those video questions takes away from the purpose of the debate, IMHO. Pick a few, and discuss them at length, that's the best format I believe.

Damn CNN.  They are once again ruining popular technology by taking it too far.  This is exactly what happened to blogging and email.

Excellent. Is Gravel in this one? If so, I hope that somehow "Rock" is referenced.

Yeah he should be there.

"Rock" is on a whole different level. I love it. It kind of makes me think of the film that I took the name that I use on here from.

Are we going to get some direct questioning from the videos or will they be too vetted by CNN to allow anything too blunt?

I hope they use Michael Moore's questions.

I really wanna know if Hillary Clinton is using Testosterone injections, and I'm sure Kucinich is doing the same.

That is pretty hilarious that Moore sent in questions.

"What kind of medication are you on?" lol.

Gravel may spend the entire debate rattling off his various medications if that question is asked of him.

Does anyone know what the format's going to be for the debate? Are they going to have videos that address a specific candidate, or are the videos going to talk about a specific issue, such as healthcare and the war, and then the moderator asks like three candidates to respond to the question? I’m hoping its more like the former, myself.

Ah, nice to see they're marginalizing the videos that they say they are aiming to give voice to. Cheesy
