Ask Hillary Part II

Hillary Clinton has posted a new set of responses to the questions of young voters. This is part II of the "Ask Hillary" series, an attempt by the Clinton campaign to reach out to younger voters after their dramatic loss in Iowa. As Josh Levy points out at Tech President, it's got a pretty top-down, and wooden feel to it, like many of Hillary's "spontaneous" events:


I applaud the effort, but would offer this advice: if programs like this are going to succeed, they need to feel much more authentic, and the campaign needs to have way less control. It would be much more exciting if this was a live web chat with viewers submitting rapid fire questions, or if the questions were determined via some sort of vote on the HillBlazers home page or Hillary FaceBook page.

I'm really interested to see how Clinton does in that kind of environment. We'll find out on Saturday when she and Huckabee appear on the MTV/MySpace Candidate Dialogues.
