finally, the people of america were able to get their questions and concerns addressed by the presidential candidates at the youtube debate. it was fantastic to see the usage of technology to bring the voice of our people, to the faces of these politicians and getting some answers!

there were youtube videos of people asking about sex education with age-appropriate education, social security, gun control, public school vs. private, taxes, and more!

my favorite video- 2 ladies asking the panel- would you work your presidential term in minimum wage? most of the candidates said ‘yes’. obama had a great answer saying that most of the individuals on the stage could afford to take a minimum salary, but it’s the common people that you need to address this issue with.

i was hooked for hours watching these youtube debate clips. helped shaped my opinions on each candidate, narrowing down to the one that’ll receive my vote.

vanae awards:

edwards – best responses in directly answering questions.

gravel – most comedic, though he didn’t get much speaking time

richardson- worst spoken, crappy candidate on that entire panel
