Yeah, but will the President ever have to negotiate with a snowman? :)

This is such an interesting topic... I love the idea of normal folks jumping on YouTube and asking questions of the candidates. They won't be easy questions and they won't be the same run of the mill garbage you hear everywhere else.

Where it gets tricky for me is CNN's participation.

Of the thousands of people, normal people, with great questions... they pick snowmen?

And that was with their home team, the Dems. You can only imagine what CNN will allow through the filters with the GOP.

Still, all things considered, I think it's too good an opportunity to pass up. Candidates can't ignore the netroots!

So bring it on, right? If nothing else we'll get to see who can handle questions from snowmen (who have notoriously low IQs). Should be a skill that'll come in handy when negotiating with the Dems in Congress.

While I agree with Nick that the questions are incredibly unprofessional, I think it proves more than we should limit voting rights more than overhaul the YouTube debates.

While I think all the Democrats sold their souls to laugh at some of the questions and pretend like they didn't see the questions 18 THOUSAND times earlier on CNN.

I think FoxNews, ABC (who will take viewer video questions supposedly), or CBS would have handled it a LOT better.

It's a good idea but done unprofessionally.

By the way, I support limiting voter rights to those who own property, have a college education, or serve/served in the military.
