CNN reports:
Tina Fey may be the best but she's far from the ONLY Sarah Palin impersonator. CNN's Jeanne Moos rounds up the imposters.
CNN has a piece about Sarah Palin impersonators, and posts links to most of the videos as 'FROM YOUTUBE.COM.'
You'll notice when CNN displays video from NBC they show a graphic that says, 'Saturday Night Live from NBC', or 'Nightline From NBC News.'
They also add a graphic for Funny or Die, but most YouTube comedians don't get credit.
Can we get some link backs to the YouTube comedians?

Where is Michelle Obama?
It's hard to find a high quality combination of both good audio and video of Michelle Obama's DNC speech.
In the end, Google video had the best experience with good audio and user control. It was a better experience than watching on the C-Span site, where the video comes from. Ironic. The DNC site had great video but poor audio. The YouTube version, on the Obama '08 page, edited the introduction.

I'll be covering the primary on 2/5, in Boston using a Nokia N95-3 cellphone to stream live over the AT&T 3G network using Qik, Mogulus and Seesmic. I had an amazing time broadcasting by wandering around up in New Hampshire. Looking forward to Tuesday.

You can mashup the Democratic Debate over on Yahoo!'s Jumpcut site.

The first CNN - YouTube debate is happening on July 23rd in Charleston, South Carolina with the Democratic candidates. Citizens have been able to upload video questions to YouTube since June 14.
So far there are only 244 videos.
Why is that?
One thing that interests me is the fact that the only way to go watch the videos is to click on the Submit Your Question button on the YouTube Presidential Debates page.
Once there, you are presented with an interface that is crippled.
You'll notice that there is no place to leave comments and no rating system is visible.

Jim Long, NBC News videographer, writes on his blog that NBC News and The National Journal/The Hotline are going to embed journalists in the campaigns of Presidential candidates.
Embedded With the Candidates, NBC News Videoblogging the Campaign.
Long sees this as an opportunity for videobloggers to get close the candidates and show us what they're like up close and personal.

At the Personal Democracy Forum I did some hallway walking, and captured some fleeting moments in video.
