“MySpace, MTV and The Associated Press today announced Senator Barack Obama and Representative Ron Paul will join Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Mike Huckabee in ‘Closing Arguments: A Presidential Super Dialogue,’ on Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 6PM ET.”
According to the press release, ‘Closing Arguments’ “Will give each candidate 15 – 20 minutes to individually address unfiltered questions from the highly engaged and coveted youth voting bloc just before Super Tuesday. Youth votes in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have hit record highs this year, and the trend is expected to continue in Super Tuesday states.”
Well, isn’t this just special? As if our political system hasn’t already been irreversibly damaged by our newly minted obscenely early and oh-so-open primary system. I absolutely love the fact that I can have members from the opposing party vote for my party’s nominee in January. That way, when my turn comes on Super Tuesday, I’m left with a choice between a crap sandwich and a turd taco. Thanks a bunch, Bush haters. Your zeal to get him out of office has rendered my vote all but meaningless, but no, no, that’s not enough. MTV just won’t leave us alone.
