First off, today's big news is our partnership with MySpace and MTV's Presidential Dialogue series. The top community-voted question on 10Questions.com as of 10 AM EST on this Monday will be asked in that day's MySpace/MTV dialogue with Barack Obama, which is taking place at 1:30 EST at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA. The forum will stream live on MySpace.com, MTV's ChooseOrLose.com and MTV Mobile, and will air at 7 p.m. ET that evening on MTV. The audience will also be able to participate by MySpace IM and by rating Obama's responses in real-time on the web. It will also be translated live into Spanish and broadcast on LaVibra. This should be a great opportunity to join forces with MySpace and MTV's series, the first of which (with John Edwards) was a well-executed and different kind of forum.
The rate of additions to the 10Questions site has quickened somewhat, reaching 88 videos as of this afternoon. The total number of votes is at almost 27,000, a gain over over 300 from yesterday, and more than 6100 voters, up 500 from yesterday.
We also received about 1,500 unique visits. The top referrers were MSNBC, Crooks and Liars, BlogActive, the New York Times, AllMyFaves, the NYTimes Editorial Board blog, and organic Google search.
We continue to be impressed with the breadth of questions. New videos on the site take on issues like homelessness, the income and housing gap, social security, free market health care, and stem cell research. YouTube user kameny’s question about warrantless wiretapping continues to have the most net votes, with 2109 as of late this afternoon.
More mentions in the blogosphere include:
PageOneQ publisher Michael Rogers posted a nice note on BlogActive saying he is "really honored to have PageOneQ as a sponsor of this exciting project."

We expect the mentions to pick up after Monday's MySpace/MTV dialogue. It should be fun!
My candidate, Ambassador Alan Keyes has been excluded from the 2008 Republican Presidential Candidate list appearing here.
Ambassador Keyes is on the Republican Presidential primary ballot in my state, California, and I do want to hear his answers to the top 10 questions.
How will the "people" decide, if we're not going to hear from all the candidates?
As a Ron Paul supporter, I feel your pain. The system is designed to silence anyone who threatens to derail the gravy train. The more media attention a candidate is given, the more likely they are to be bought and paid for. To be blacklisted is to be given an unintended stamp of integrity.
I like a lot of what Keyes has to say. Good luck!

video questions
Who has time to watch 124 questions by video? I have high-speed Internet, and it still consumes way too much time. Let me read the questions, and I will read them all and vote. But I don't have time to either create a video or watch hundreds created by others. Cute idea, but way too time-consuming.
