Obama, Clinton, Huckabee and Paul -- in one "Presidential dialogue"?
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 01:28 PM by DeepModem Mom
WP political blog, "The Fix," by Chris Cillizza
'08 Hopefuls To Talk With MTV, MySpace and The Fix

As regular readers of this blog know, The Fix has had the unique opportunity to partner with MTV and MySpace for a series of presidential dialogues with the 2008 presidential candidates.

Tomorrow night marks the culmination of those dialogues with a 90-minute extravaganza featuring four of the six candidates still in the race -- Sens. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) for the Democrats, and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) for the Republicans.

Like the previous presidential dialogues, the goal in this one is to let the candidates directly address the questions and concerns of young voters -- a key voting group whose power has grown exponentially in this election. All four candidates will appear via satellite and will take questions from a live audience from MTV's studio in New York City. The Fix, along with Gideon Yago, Sway, and the Associated Press's Phil Elliott, will moderate the proceedings.

Interactivity is the name of the game in these dialogues. You can submit questions either though MySpace or MTV. You can also post questions you'd like asked of the candidates in the comments section below and we'll do our best to get one or two on the air.

It all gets started at 6 p.m. ET tomorrow night on MTV. We'll also be streaming it live here on washingtonpost.com.

NOTE: This blog post is dated Feb. 1, so that would indicate that the "dialogue" would be Saturday, Feb. 2.

1. So is that tonight, or tomorrow night?
Because if it's Sunday, I would have to say... great idea....awful timing.
Not surprised McCain passed on this, But I would have thought Willard would show up, given his love for any corporate media.

2. Thanks, newmajority! I just edited in a note that since the blog is dated Feb 1, tonight, Sat....
Feb. 2, must be the time of the "dialogue."
