I am really looking forward to a presidential debate for a change. Nearly 2,000 questions have been submitted for the candidates in the CNN/YouTube debate on Monday including the most recent one below.



Users have until Sunday to submit questions for the Democrats, and YouTube has announced that it is already accepting user questions for the September 17th Republican debate.

So far GOP candidates have trailed democrats in generating online attention, the one exception being Ron Paul who is doing everything right online if nowhere else. Paul leads republicans in every category tracked by TechPresident which ranks candidates on things like Facebook friends and YouTube views despite having only an estimated 2% of the vote if the election were held today.

There are a ton of debate parties going on around the country. One of the largest is taking place at the Irish Rogue on 44th & 8th here in New York. While you could stay home and watch online, if you go out, hosts DFNYC, ACTNowNY, and Drinking Liberally promise drinking games.
