Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich beat yesterday’s deadline for the voter-generated video debate at 10Questions.com. He answered nine of the 10 questions, skipping the one on the size of government (as did fellow Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mike Huckabee.)
The No. 1 question as chosen by 10Questions users focuses on “network neutrality,” a term used to describe the push for a government mandate on communications network owners to treat high-speed Internet content equally.
“We must make sure that the Internet is protected from domination by any particular interest group,” Kucinich said, “and the financial interest groups who would want to create a two-tiered system on the Internet … that kind of a condition will not be tolerated under a Kucinich administration.

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel has been answering questions in the voter-generated video debate at 10Questions.com.
The No. 1 question as chosen by 10Questions users focuses on “network neutrality,” a term used to describe the push for a government mandate on communications network owners to treat high-speed Internet content equally.

Barack Obama, one of the frontrunners in the Democratic presidential primary, has added his voice to the the voter-generated video debate at 10Questions.com — but he answered only seven of the 10 questions before the deadline expired today.
That is the fewest questions answered by any of the participants, although eight Republicans and four Democrats didn’t respond at all. Obama didn’t answer questions about “corporate personhood,” the size of government and the two-party political system in America.
He also did not respond directly to the voters who submitted videos; instead, his campaign sent video clips from the campaign trail that attempted to address the subjects those voters asked.
The No. 1 question as chosen by 10Questions users focuses on “network neutrality,” a term used to describe the push for a government mandate on communications network owners to treat high-speed Internet content equally. Obama’s campaign submitted an answer that Obama gave on the campaign trail.
“Facebook, MySpace … [and] Google might not have been started if you had not had a level playing field for whoever’s got the best idea,” Obama said in a video excerpt from a forum with voters this year. “And I want to maintain that basic principle in how the Internet functions.”

The No. 1 question as chosen by 10Questions users focuses on “network neutrality,” a term used to describe the push for a government mandate on communications network owners to treat high-speed Internet content equally.

“We can look at the Internet kind of like we do an Internet highway,” Huckabee said in response to the question. “Everybody has a right to get on that highway; everybody has a right to put his or her vehicle on it, whether it’s the big 18-wheel truck or whether it’s a motorcyle. And we need to make sure that access is affordable and that there is a clear path for every person to be able to utilize these resources ”
