A Quick Look at 10Questions
10Questions.com is an effort to use the power of the Internet and new media to allow ordinary folks to submit and vote on questions to be asked of all the Presidential candidates. Here's the summary from their "how this works" page:
The 10Questions Presidential Forum is divided into two rounds. During the first round, which will run from October 17 to November 14, anyone with access to YouTube, MySpace Yahoo Video, or Blip.tv can submit a video question. To enter, upload your video question to one of these sites and tag it "10questions." Be sure to give it a descriptive title so others can find it. And if you want, add additional tags that describe it further.
During round one, videos bearing the tag "10questions" will be collected on the main page where anyone can vote for or against them. At the close of round one, there will be an audit of the top vote-getters, after which the top ten videos will be presented to the candidates.
During round two, which will begin November 17 and end December 31, the candidates will be asked to post their replies to the top ten questions, and you get to vote on their replies. The candidates will have until December 15 to post their answers; you'll have until December 31 to vote on them. At the end of this round, we will audit the ratings and announce the final results.
Check out the site to submit a question or vote on someone else's. [JH]

I would like to alert all those frustrated with the lack of tough questions in the debates to check out Straight2theCandidates.com as well. There are a number of technical differences to the aforementioned 10Questions though.
Our set up a) allows you to simply film yourself directly via our platform with your webcam, b) allows you to address a particular candidate directly (and not all candidates at once), c) allows you to post/look at the questions by category, d) and does not skew the ranking by indirectly favoring the most recent submissions.
I would invite you to check out the video function in particular, and then send Romney (or anyone else) a message by clicking "video" once his portal loads. After that, have your friends and colleagues vote the question up in the rankings to make sure it gets to his (or her respective) campaign!
