News helping people connect, that's what it is folks.

Here are some quotes from a Reuters article about the CNN/YouTube debate:

The 39 questions posed by ordinary citizens highlighted "the role new media is playing in politics and everything else in society," he added.
Phil Noble, founder of PoliticsOnline.com, said the format would get more people engaged in the political process and give politicians a better chance to connect with the voters.

Clearly what we're presenting is different, but I think it does highlight the belief that people should be finding new ways to use the Internet to interact with their politicians and that news organizations can help people do that.

The more and more I read about it (NY Times and BBC have been talking about it nonstop) the more and more I think that we need to get a working model of our project up and running pronto. It's only a matter of time before Google swipes our big idea pre-launch..
