"Viewers will also be able to submit real-time questions to candidates via MySpace's instant messaging client.

The concept is fascinating. Simply put, it's like live-blogging in the candidate's face. Now that sounds like fun.

It's my understanding that follow-up questions may be based on the real-time poll results. Pollsters John McLaughlin and Geoffrey Garin will be filtering the polling data. The dialogue itself is being moderated by MTV News Correspondents Gideon Yago and SuChin Pak, and the WaPo's Chris Cillizza.

John Edwards is the first one up to try the new format, with future forums being scheduled for all major candidates on both sides of the aisle. The event is taking place today at 12:00 ET at the University of New Hampshire campus. The debate will stream live on both MySpaceTV and MTV.com, and it will also be broadcast on MTV later in the day.

Update: I'm told that the poll options will vary from those I posted earlier, but the spirit of the new options is the same."

Anyone here going to watch? Submit some question and vote. It sounds like fun!

4. I submitted a question, as well.

Still no stream. Guess he's running a little late?

5. Well, it's probably not a good thing to run late with this sort of forum..

Most people wont wait on-line or come back to see if he is on yet.
