YouTube recently launched a channel for politicians, called YouTube Town Hall, to debate both sides of major issues and allow viewers to select the view they support. This sounds like a great use of social media since anyone with a computer can attend the "Town Hall". Politicians don't identify their party affiliation, with the intent to focus viewers on the issue, not the political party.
According to Mashable, "Debates will be on many topics surrounding the budget, economy, energy, Afghanistan, education and health care. Initially topics were chosen by popularity on Google News and Google web search over the past year, but YouTube plans to accept questions from viewers in the future."
