Abouth a month ago, the Democratic U.S. presidential candidates held a YouTube Debate on CNN. Their Republican rivals originally were less than enthusiastic to have a similar debate, which was scheduled for mid-September.
As a way to avoid the YouTube debate, most of the major candidates cited scheduling conflicts with the original date. Apparently, there was a change of mind in the GOP and the CNN-YouTube debate has been rescheduled for November 28.
Like the Democratic debate, CNN and YouTube are soliciting video questions on their Web sites. Over 1,000 questions have already been submitted.
The first YouTube debate was received with mixed reviews. The videos were hard to see on TV. Also, talking snowmen, while mildly entertaining, seem somewhat out of place in a presidential debate.
