Yeah! Great idea… MySpace just continues to do great things… always fresh. Not sure why Bill thinks that MySpace is a bad choice for the venue? MySpace s the largest social network in the world… and has almost twice as many users than Facebook here in the U.S. And come on… let’s face it… Facebook is predominately used by middle class, college educated, white folks… that’s a pretty homogenous group to participate in the debates. MySpace has every race, gender, creed, color, sexual orientation, etc. There isn’t a better place on the Internet for this debate series… especially in an election with our first African American candidate!

My hope is that Bob Barr will be included in the debates. Bob is the only candidate for REAL and POSITIVE change. My money and my vote are going to Barr. If you haven’t taken the time to actually read through the issues and stances on his website, you should… http://www.BobBarr2008.com …you might be surprised that you agree with him on more than you think!

I like the idea, but MySpace is not the venue for this.

Sadly, even though we now have the Internet, these debates are still made “the TV way”.
Now we could have written, on-line debates (more in the style of an Internet forum than in that of IRC), where politicians would not get away with speaking beautiful words devoid of meaning, because each sentence could be quoted and commented.

What a great idea. Hopefully this will help more young people feel more involved in an easy, accessible way. And maybe they’ll even start to think for themselves and try to think for themselves and vote for which candidate they want, versus who the media and their friends try to influence them to vote for.
