Democracy - There is hope yet still

The Democratic debate by CNN and YouTube last night was proof that technology is bringing back democracy to the people. America - and the world - are plugging in to a more social, engaging, and participatory form of media for their news and information. The long tail of user generated video questions and living commentary from the world community is displacing the TV friendly sound bite. Questions live way past the event's 24 hour news cycle, and they are accessible by all citizens in the free world to view and respond.

The Republicans will have their debate of the same CNN/YouTube format in September.
