Video from the MTV/MySpace Dialogue

Here's some video I took at the MTV/MySpace Super Dialogue tonight. First, the scene outside - a good sized Obama rally (which never stopped chanting for 2 hours straight), and a more modest gathering for Hillary and Ron Paul.

A quick look at the studio itself. My camera did not like the lights:

Here's the reaction from some of the student/youth participants. Since I covered this event for Tech President, I mostly focused on asking them what they thought of the interactive format.

You can read my live blog at Tech President here. I'll have a more thorough analysis of the event tomorrow, but one of the really interesting thing I noted was how poorly Obama and Clinton scored in the online polls. Chris Cilliza, one of the moderators, tried to spin it as a manifestation of the Change vs. Experience dynamic, but that wouldn't explain why both scored so low. On the other hand, Ron Paul scored quite high. I think this was another instance of Ron Paul followers showing their strength in internet organizing. The Flektor polls were just another tactical victory for them.
