Presidential Dialogue with John Edwards and kids today

I’m at the University of New Hampshire right now, getting ready for a dialogue with Edwards hosted by MTV and MySpace. It’s interactive in the extreme, assuming everything goes well. Every “major� candidate (except Fred Thompson) has agreed to participate, and Edwards is up first. To learn more about this event, go to MySpace. You can submit questions via IM or text message, and you can play along at home:

Online viewers on MySpace.com or MTV.com will be able to access a simple ratings meter to indicate their approval or disapproval of a candidate’s response as they watch the Dialogue live with instant results displayed on the screen. A “popular vote” function will allow viewers to compare their opinions against those of the entire viewing community. Poll results will be available online live during each event and archived for future viewing.

The geek in me is very excited. So, check it out today from noon to 1pm Eastern. I’ll post again once it’s done, I’m interested to see what folks think.
Obligatory legal disclaimer: MySpace did pay to bring me here. I didn’t have to blog about it, but, duh, that’s why I came. Besides, it’s kind of funny to think that Rupert Murdoch bought me a plane-ticket. I should have some gay sex and get an abortion while I’m here.
