Today MySpace and MTV will host the inaugural event in a series of one-on-one Presidential Candidate Dialogues. The kick-off event will feature former Senator John Edwards on the University of New Hampshire campus.
Beginning at Noon EST, the event will be streamed LIVE on MySpace (www.myspace.com/election2008) and MTV’s ChooseorLose.com.
The MySpace/MTV Presidential Candidate Dialogues mark the first time in history where at home viewers can submit questions in real-time to the candidates, via MySpaceIM and ChooseorLose.com. Online viewer reaction will be measured by a live polling tool, powered by Flektor, which will track viewer input and reaction to Edwards’ answers, and be used by the moderators in follow up questions.
The event will also be translated in real-time and available in Spanish online at: www.lavibra.com/candidatos.
