If any debate is worth watching, this should be it, so please join me in covering it. I'm so excited to go to the Citadel in South Carolina for the CNN/YouTube debate tonight. On Friday, I shared your questions with Anderson Cooper and I've been thinking, and writing, a lot about this debate's impact on us citizen journalists (or maybe we should be called voter-journalists. Although one would assume all journalists are also voters...).

Online discussion about the debates ranges from hopeful (Jeff Jarvis) to pissed-off (A Citadel cadet has a new take on user-generated content: "You see, on Monday, July 23rd, the South Carolina Democratic Party

is hosting all the candidates at the Citadel. They arranged this knowing that an audience of uniformed cadets would attend, so as to offer the national television audience a tacit military endorsement for their leftist, anti-military positions...What’s worse is my fellow students at the Citadel won’t even be allowed to ask questions of the candidates. They are to be seen but not heard...)

On BlogHer, one woman alone--a bad typist, natch--doth not good coverage make. So please, if you're watching the debate, start coverage under the "Politics and News" category. Maybe you want to pick a particular candidate to cover, or you want to critique the videos chosen. What would be really interesting is if someone would monitor the Internets while the debate is happening, covering coverage from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
