Do you care about the MTV/MySpace candidate forums?

I understand that the 'youth' vote is important (when exactly is the youth vote not the youth vote any longer) for candidates, so they're willing to do just about anything in order to get it. MTV clearly understands this and have thus implemented many different efforts to get candidates to debase themselves work with them. The newest effort is a series of one-on-one forums where a candidate will take questions via MySpace. Supposedly this is going to be unfiltered and thus the candidates will have to answer lots of questions that don't generally come up in a stump speech. Somehow, I imagine it sounding a lot like a stump speech on pot - call me cynical.

I watched the YouTube 'debate' and it ranged from irrelevant to outright silly (partially because it was democrats and partially because of the questions). I can only imagine that this forum will be much of the same.


So am I the only one that feels this way about these youth oriented events? Personally I like good ol' fashioned campaigning, but then maybe I'm outta' touch.
