#4, i think you guys hit a clean stand-up double with this.

where was the pajamas-clad blog/vlogger pitching questions and fielding answers that will be needed to ATTRACT the young audience needed to make this a homerun?

i’m excited to see the effort, but let’s not get carried away with simply putting the suits and ties up there and hoping for the best.

I wasn’t watching on TV, but I also preferred the live feedback channel. I remember in either 2000 or ‘04 when NBC or MSNBC had a general election debate, CNBC had a similar feature.

Hey Steve, the Real Time Response was actually ours with Hearst-Argyle. It was based at WMUR, with New Hampshire voters. We had all the info, and the key on our website, pipeline was just able to stream the video as well.

Here’s the key: Yellow: Independents | Red: Democrats | White: All Viewers | Pink: Women Voters | Blue: Men Voters

If you want to see excerpts from it, check out http://wmur.com/realtimeresponse

Overall, a great night for our sites!

i wonder if there are any restrictions in the agreement between cnn and h/a that would keep h/a from posting clips of tonight’s debate on their NEW youtube efforts.

only 3 or 4 stations currently have a youtube web channel though.

Hillary’s scores on that automatic poll thing have been surprisingly high with regularity.

Is it just me? I can never understand what Arrianna Huffington is saying. It’s either the accent or I can’t get past all the jewelry.
