The first people-powered debate hub has launched. It's called 10Questions.com.

The platform embraces technology to give you and me, citizens, the opportunity to submit a question to all Presidential candidates (Red and Blue) using any video distribution method we choose (e.g., YouTube, MySpace video, blip.tv, etc.).

Here's a familiar face to help explain the site:

Unlike television debates, the 10Questions Presidential Forum makes full use of the web's potential to expand participation in politics. Everyone has an opportunity to ask a question, and to rally support for their question being in the top ten. The candidates have plenty of time to formulate their answers, and can post in-depth replies. Finally, the community will be able to grade the candidates' answers. With large numbers of people participating, the candidates will have an incentive to pay attention. Who knows, maybe we'll even change the course of the election!

The 10Questions Presidential Forum is being produced by techPresident in cooperation with The New York Times editorial board, with support from MSNBC.com and sponsorship from a large, cross-partisan group of bloggers, online media and organizations.

TechRepublican, along with many other conservative outlets is sponsoring this effort. It is our hope that you will participate in this forum by making a video question, participating in the voting process, and then following up to tell us if you think the Presidential candidates answered the questions.

This is going to be neat.
