"YouTube is the next battle ground for the Democratic presidential candidates: the video site will co-sponsor the first of six Democratic debates of the 2008 race, making it the first \"new media\" sponsor in an opportunity normally reserved for mainstream news outlets.  CNN is the television partner for the debates.  Presumably this will all be tied in to YouTube's YouChoose campaign, in which candidates talk directly to viewers.\nThere are very few details on the debate, and YouTube hopes to achieve balance by also covering Republican debates, says the San Jose Mercury News: \"Lest partisanship become an issue, Boorstin said Google and CNN are working with GOP candidates to arrange a similar debate. Unlike the DNC, the Republican National Committee is not organizing debates for its candidates.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
