Let me make one thing perfectly clear:

My disdain for Hellary has nothing to do with her supposedly being a woman! I love women and would vote for one for president readily. But, let’s not vote for Klinton just because of gender: think back to that administration, all of the spies, lies, corruption, deaths, smears, immorality, backstabbing, laws broken, drugs, bribes, Chinese spies, payoffs, character assinations, assasinations, investigations, using dead people, theft, obfescations, stealing china, destruction of public property, threats to bimbos, assaults, rape accusations, sex not sex, asprin factory murders, tyrant coddling, Whtewatering, Rose law firming, missing files, DNA disapearance, Foster bodies, Lies in diaries, lawyers commiting suicide, hidden agendas, payoffs, Luewinskiing, coverups, mismanagements, bodies in the parks, bodies in the cell, bodies in the water, nuclear secrets being sold, FBI files stolen, blackmailings, ….. all with Hellary right smack dab in the middle either orchestrating or covering up!
Use your memories people!

Other than that I have nothing against her.

I second your call for a truly participatory debate. Web properties like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc all ought to do more than reproduce the broadcast media’s tired, top-down approach to politics. That said, I’m disappointed that TechCrunch–which has been doing more lately to inform its readers about the candidates and their approach to tech issues–failed to take note of our 10Questions.com project, which has turned the YouTube/CNN debate format upside down, and garnered the support of more than 50 major political blogs and top media like the NYTimes Editorial board and MSNBC. You guys are great when it comes to discerning what’s happening in the world of tech, but if you’re going to report on how tech is affecting politics, I expect better.

It’d be really interesting to see how this works out.
I think there are two possible outcomes:
1) Social networks (Facebook in this particular case) will become just another media to spread and advocate political views
2) Contrarily, social groups will be more resilient with regards to enforced political views.

I hope 2nd option wins.

I didn’t know about the CNN/YouTube debate and would have loved to see it, will have to watch for the Facebook one. Can I still view the debate on YouTube? I’ll have to go check when it’s not so late at night!

P2P live streaming has been officially enhanced by Chinese government since the begginning of 2007. As you see http://nba.sports.cctv.com/01/index.shtml, people could enjoy NBA matchs online with p2p enpowered system from Koos ltd., a small company in west China.

It was predicted, In 2008, hundreds of Olympic matchs will be shown in CCTV.com by P2P streaming system with millions of users online simultaneously. Maybe that is the time for people to see P2P application by media industry.

–CCTV.com, as the name China Central TV station, is the majoy TV network in China with 75% the civil market.

THIS question needs to be asked. See video: CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: Giuliani 9/11 Question Giuliani claims, “American foreign policy had nothing to do with the September 11th. September 11th happened because these people who hate us, hate us because of the freedoms that we have.” see my question

You are spot on, Erick. These debates are a joke. I’m 21 and consider myself politically active, yet the CNN-YouTube debates never appealed to me or anyone I know. These partnerships are so stupid. CNN/ABC are just trying to look hip to old people who hear so much about YouTube and Facebook, but don’t understand the purpose of web 2.0. These partnerships don’t even bother to take advantage of the things that make web 2.0 so revolutionary in the first place. It’s all just a gimmick.

facebook is great and all, but techcrunch’s facebook coverage is too much.

I can’t wait to see the candidates handle such questions as “Who would win in a war between Ninjas and Pirates!” Or when somebody asks them how many vampire chumps they’ve bitten.

Of course, any smart candidate will be sure to work a few Chuck Norris jokes into their comments.

I suspect that the younger voters, though, while passionate about Ron Paul and Barack (as shown in the Facebook Stats) are less likely to vote.

We’ll see if this plays out in the polls.

The Iowa Electronic Market doesn’t list Ron Paul as a choice, yet “none of the above” (which includes him) is showing a recent uptick (still nowhere near Giuliani, though, at 19% compared to 40%.

Where is the debate that includes Ron Paul these days? It seems like he is absent from a lot of the major media’s limelight, its really too bad. Oh well, let the candidate flaming begin.
