CNN and YouTube will host the first of two presidential debates on Monday, July 23rd. The Democratic contenders go head-to-head on Monday night, and the GOP hopefuls will spar on September 17th. All the questions are being submitted by regular folks (well, almost regular) in the form of YouTube videos. No journalists. No panelists. No crap.
CNN's political team will pick the most creative and compelling videos to pose to the candidates. Peeps can submit a video through Sunday, July 22nd, at youtube.com/debates. You can then hear the debate live on CNN - on both XM (ch 122) and Sirius (ch 132) - on Monday at 7 pm ET.
After the debate airs on CNN, it will be rebroadcast for 24 hours on XM's POTUS '08 channel (ch 130).
Great idea, very poor execution. It needs to be done live These preview shows are making it even worse, any candidate can call in and request that certain questions be excluded. It should've been done live and instead of youtube, made it the Sirius-XM-CNN debate
