Tonight sees You Tube in conjunction with CNN hosting a debate with the US presidential candidates.
Questions have been submitted via video or mobile phone in an attempt to use new media in engaging the younger generation with politics.
An issue that perhaps the political parties could adopt here.

The YouTube debates could fundamentally change the dynamics of politics in America, giving a voice to the people, letting us be heard by the powerful and the public, enabling us to coalesce around our interests and needs, and even teaching reporters who are supposed to ask questions in our stead how they should really do it.
Adding that they could change the relationship between the candidates and the voter.
