Republican YouTube Debate Tonight

On CNN, 7 PM Central. No Republican debate since a month ago, and the polls have tightened since. WSJ scopes it:
Some of the campaigns expressed concern about the debate format, worried that Democratic activists would stack the deck with questions. CNN producers say they have no intention of choosing "gotcha" questions and plan to put forward questions on issues important to Republican voters, such as national security and health care.

YouTube, a unit of Google Inc., says almost 5,000 video questions have been submitted, more than twice the number for the Democratic debate. CNN is likely to choose about 40.

As of last weekend, education and health care drew the most interest, accounting for 15% of the questions, according to an analysis of the first 3,000 submissions by YouTube.

Supposedly the question quality is better, no looniness. We'll see.
