Video Blogging Versus Debates
Filed Under Politics | 6 Comments
Have you seen what politicians who are running for office have started doing in order to avoid the more traditional debate? These politicians are turning to the internet instead. And instead of going face to face with their opponents they are doing video blogs. Then they simply post these video blogs on YouTube.
Now if you are anything like me, then you might just be seeing a little bit of a problem with this whole scenario. After all, what would Abraham Lincoln or Stephan Douglas have to say about this? Does this signal the beginning of the end of the great orators? Sure you can both attack and defend via a video blog, but it is not spontaneous. It is the off the cuff format of political debate that allows us to see who the candidates actually are.
With video blogging the candidates get an opportunity to polish their presentation to the point that it is really more like a television commercial than anything else. By the time they are done with these presentations we have not had any kind of chance to see who they really are. Hopefully these video blogs are not a sign of changes to come. Hopefully the good old fashioned American tradition of political debates will survive.

fully in the Olympics due to China’s human rights atrocities, Barack offered this response when asked:
Obama said in a TV interview earlier this month that he was “of two minds” when it came to full U.S. participation in the Olympics.
Why does Obama get to take both sides of the fence on this issue?

Since McCain can’t decide if he wants to be President or not, since he did “suspend” his candidacy, would it make much of a difference?
