Pick Your Battles

Debates via youtube sound pretty asinine to me. Personally, I think every politician should put out a 1 sheet with all their policy issues outlined. Regardless of how you feel about it they are still taking place.

Coming up on Wednesday is the much hyped CNN-YouTube Republican debate, with @AndersonCooper moderating. There have been a number of great videos rising through the ranks that I’ve watched, but I’m not ruling out the possibility of a snowman repeat incident, as the questions are selected by the editorial staff, not a democratic process as in the 10Questions debates.

Meanwhile, at the live version of YouTube, UStream plays host to several important presidential wannabes this week, starting tomorrow with Barrack Obama’s all-day New Hampshire event. There, Senator B. Hussein Obama will conclude a three-day trip to New Hampshire tomorrow, with a foreign policy forum in Portsmouth to be streamed live via UStream.

I wonder if it’s all just a ploy for the kids votes.
