Politics The YouTube Debate

Coming July 23…
The presidential debates are about to enter the world of YouTube, the anything-goes home-video-sharing Web site that puts the power in the hands of the camera holder. YouTube, which is owned by Google, and CNN are co-sponsoring a debate among the eight Democratic presidential candidates on July 23 in South Carolina, an event that could define the next phase of what has already been called the YouTube election…
I don't really understand how this differs from a televised debate with a couple of audience members participating via webcam. YouTube isn't utilized for any sort of closed circuit real time communication, so other than having them as a sponsor, what am I missing that makes this a "YouTube debate"?
