In their next debate, Democrats will face video questions from voters
Not long ago Kim, a mother of two, walked into her bedroom, turned on her webcam and made a 30-second video. When the Democratic presidential candidates gather in Charleston, S.C., on Monday for their next debate, co-sponsored by CNN and YouTube, this may be one of the questions:
"Hi, my name is Kim. I'm 36 years old and hope to be a future breast cancer survivor from Long Island. . . . Like millions of Americans, I've gone for years without health insurance. . . . What would you, as president, do to make low-cost or free preventative medicine available for everybody in this country?"
So far more than 1,300 video questions have been uploaded onto YouTube, the popular video-sharing site, many of them as intimate as the one from Kim, who at one point removes a wig to reveal her bald head. CNN will sort through the submissions to select the two dozen or so that Democrats in Charleston will answer after watching them on a 25-by-18-foot screen.
I think it's great that youtube users are asking questions. It shows how involved the citizens of this nation are.

I think that users should be able to ask questions on you tube because it shows that maybe some people iff nto more are getting more invovled in the elections.
I think this is a great way. Plus, it will be heard everywhere so it's good for the candidates to gain support.
It's great for the people haveing their voice heard, but at the same time, people often make discriminating comments on youtube.
