YouTube about to become politician friendly

As reported here, [p]oliticians have not cherished most of their YouTube moments, those snippets of candid camera video posted on the popular Internet site.

Now comes a friendlier YouTube politics.

Wednesday, the online video Web site announced the beginning of a voter education initiative that will be an information hub for political candidates to showcase their own videos.


Well, that's interesting. The only question I have is, are registered users of the site going to be able to flag the video's that are put up by the politicians (especially those by Republicans) as "inappropriate", so YouTube yanks them?

It will be interesting to find out, and it is hoped here that this doesn't happen. Guess we'll all find out soon enough, eh?
