And it really doesn't matter that you maybe get scipted replies. First of all all answers, even spontanous answers, are scripted because politician's understand their job to good. Second of all the fact that they poste their answer on youtube is proof of the fact that they have said certain things on a subject. You can keep them accountable for that. I do think it would be a good idea to let voters vote on which answer they really would like to see answered. Just like Jeff said that Cameron did it in England. Otherwise it will become a chaos of questions and you let the politician decide which answer he likes to answer and which not. Again great idea!!! I think this is a great idea.

The only thing is that this format leads to scripted replies. If JD had run into Biden at an event, at least he would have had to answer off the cuff. I can easily imagine a candidate focus-grouping a reply before posting it, which makes it more like an ad than a reply. It’s cool and I like that Biden bothered to answer.
