LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -Tonight
Senator Hillary Clinton, Governor Mike Huckabee, Senator Barack Obama and
Representative Ron Paul will vie to earn the support of the highly-coveted
youth voting bloc in MySpace, MTV and The Associated Press' "Closing
Arguments: A Presidential Super Dialogue." The interactive Presidential
Dialogue offers candidates a final opportunity to reach out to young voters
before Super Tuesday and will take place live tonight at 6 p.m. ET on air,
online, on radio and via mobile phones.

Each candidate will individually have the floor for roughly 15-20
minutes, individually addressing questions posed by online viewers via
MySpaceIM, ChooseOrLose.com and from the live college-aged audience in
MTV's Times Square Studio in New York.

Young voters have shown an exceptionally high turnout at this year's
primaries and caucuses. According to the January MySpace Impact
Presidential Poll, a series of monthly polls conducted exclusively among
the MySpace community, 88 percent of those who are, or will be, of voting
age by the November election say they are 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' to
vote.

In its fourth installment, the MySpace/MTV series continues to grow,
this time teaming up with the Associated Press to distribute a live feed of
the Dialogue to the 1,800 media sites in its Online Video Network, nearly
600 of which are local TV, newspaper or radio sites in states with Super
Tuesday primaries. "Closing Arguments" will be the most publicly accessible
and interactive presidential candidate event in history, with more mediums
available for people to tune in and engage than ever before.

A revolutionary polling tool, powered by Flektor
(http://www.flektor.com), will enable viewers watching online to indicate
their approval or disapproval of candidates' responses throughout the
course of the event and help guide the direction of the form. A "popular
vote" function will allow viewers to compare their opinions against those
of the entire viewing community.
