Slog - Comments on Another Newfangled Debate Format http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/another_newfangled_debate_format Today brings an online-only debate for the Democratic presidential candidates, sponsored by HuffingtonPost, Slate, and Yahoo. Charlie Rose will be moderating and video for "mash-ups" (not in the classic sense, however) will be posted on Friday. I know the web is supposed to make life easier, but I've been clicking around for several minutes and still can't figure out what time this thing starts. Anyone know?...

Huffington Post says you'll be able to access the videos (presumably on their website) beginning September 14.

Incidentally, it's worth reading about how your opportunity to do "mash-ups" will be rather limited.

I am sick of the presidental campaign already. I actually want one of the Democrats to be found in an x-rated snuff film at this point just to keep things interesting.

I am going to be hard pressed to even vote in the fall since the Democrats are already well on their way to being so wishy washy that they will not seem to be any different than the GOP. And we all know what that will lead us to.

Mashups could be really fun though!

I would not call them mashups -- more like "you can rearrange the segments however you want." And it's not going to be available until tomorrow? Again. Lame.

A question I have -- how can we the viewers be sure that this shit hasn't been tinkered with by the powers that be during the processing gap between now and when it's published online? I'm skeptical.

This is getting silly.

Waaaaa.
