Presidential Debates To Be Livestreamed On The Web

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has partnered with the social networking site MySpace.com to create MyDebates.org, the first-ever site to live stream debate video on the Web.

MyDebates.org will offer its users access to multiple interactive applications including quizzes that provide a comparison to the users' views and the candidates' poisitions and a tracking system to show the candidates' stances on issues throught the campaign.  Along with the live streaming video and quizzes, there will be polls shown during the debate that users can respond to and will be able to see the results afterwards. 

One of the most unique interactive app.'s is the ability to submit questions online that will be pooled and possibly selected for the second presidential debate on October 7th.

CPD, a nonpartisan organization, will host three presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate, the first of which will be on September 26.
