YouTube Interview with Chris Dodd - Ask About Student Voting Rights
Update: So I went ahead and did this. Not too bad, I don't think (though I hate watching myself on video). As far as I can tell, there's only 6 other questions submitted thus far - including some from 9/11 truthers and flag burners. So there's actually a decent chance that my question will get asked and we'll be able to get Dodd himself on record about this issue:
---------------------------
I think you know what to do. Ask Chris Dodd what his position is on the rights of students attending university in Iowa but born outside of the state to participate in the January Caucus.
If I can figure out how the camera on my laptop works I'll be submitting a question later today.

Too bad
Well, that was disappointing. The questions all focused on the horse race, and although Dodd gave great and really compelling answers, there really wasn't anything in the interview particularly geared towards the audience or towards young people. Only one YouTube video was played. The interviewer insists on these lightning rounds that never work out. With Obama it was "Hope or Dope," with Dodd it was "Constitution or Not."
Admittedly, most YouTubers have no idea who Dodd is, and asking the question, "Who are you?" is probably not off-base. But when you have a compelling candidate like Dodd speaking to a young audience, how can you not ask about his absolutely deflating position on student voting this week?
