The New York Times editorial board has posted a blog entry noting their participation in the upcoming debate, 10Questions.com, which TechRepublican proudly supports.

The nuts of their post:

The Times Editorial Board is collaborating with TechPresident on this project; we will help them get word out about it and also help to deliver the final questions to the candidates. MSNBC is also participating, and a host of blogs from across the political spectrum are cosponsors. We decided to get involved with 10 Questions because we have high hopes that it will help us learn something new about the current roster of presidential hopefuls and enliven a political process that is in desperate need of enlivening.

As of this posting, there are 57 video questions on subjects like national security strategy, transparency in government, whether or not to ban cartoon images of Native Americans. They have been uploaded by citizens of states like California, Nevada, Florida, New York, and Texas who have shot their videos from their living rooms, backyards and the beach. One questioner features his cat within the frame along side his talking head (at least the cat is cute).

Although we may be amused, intrigued, and even moved by these videos, their value is not up to us to decide. It is up to you. The video below is currently in first place. There are 22 days left to vote it up or down, explore the others and even tape and upload your own question.

The top 10 questions will be delivered to the candidates on Nov. 17, and they will have until the end of the year to post their answers. Learn more at 10Questions.com.

Make sure you head over to 10Questions.com and submit a question. After all, if Republicans are going to be asked to answer these questions, it's only appropriate that Republicans participate in the entire process.

And yes, I will be submitting a question.
