Presidential candidates to debate over Internet

April 24, 2007 Yahoo!, the Huffington Post and Web magazine Slate will engineer two presidential debates conducted online -- apparently the first of their kind -- that will feature candidates participating from separate locations with a real-time connection to voters over the Internet. The 90-minute online debates will be remarkable in that they will be the first in the history of presidential politics where the candidates and the moderator won't be in the same room -- or even the same state. Rose will be in one location, hooked to a video camera, while a Yahoo! crew will be at each of the candidates' locations with cameras to connect them.
