Transcript, video of CNN/YouTube Democratic debate

Updated 9:43 p.m.
Transcript at CNN, where you can play the entire debate on the homepage. YouTube didn't stream it, to the consternation of many.

9:54 a.m.
The CNN/YouTube debate: Tonight's forum with the Democratic presidential candidates holds out the hope that Internet users' questions can overcome politics as usual. Or is this just a gimmick? Los Angeles Times:

First up, the Democratic contenders, Monday night in Charleston, S.C., a TV event moderated by Anderson Cooper. At CNN, they've been promoting the night like it's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," urging the nation to take a seat at the table — no jacket or tie required — while remaining coy about the process: It took John Roberts, co-host of CNN's weeklong "CNN/YouTube Debate Preview," 55 minutes last week to mention that "CNN will be choosing which questions are used."

Details: Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Obama, and Richardson at the Citadel in South Carolina. 7 p.m. on CNN.

You may watch the 2989 questions have been turned into videos and uploaded to YouTube.


MSNBC's First Read:

It's YouTube, and one assumes CNN is going to take advantage of the fact that they can't be held responsible for the user questions. Will they cross some question lines that they wouldn't do with their own moderator? The candidates, we assume, have prepped for that outcome.
