News: July 23rd will mark the first of the Democratic Party’s presidential debates this summer. It’s co-sponsored by YouTube and CNN. It already is shaping up to be an historic event. YouTube users will be asked to send in video questions on YouTube before the debate, some of which apparently will be played during the debate.
