MTV/MySpace Presidential Dialogue: Barack Obama - Highlight Package

*** Satellite Coordinates ***

Highlights and key moments from the second MySpace/MTV Presidential Dialogue -- featuring Senator Barack Obama, held today at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA. The dialogue series marks the first time an at home audience has ever been able to interact with a presidential candidate in real time, with young people submitting questions via MySpaceIM and ChooseorLose.com. In its second installment, the groundbreaking MySpace/MTV series continued to evolve, with richer online polling and a new partnership with people-powered democracy site 10Questions.com. Key enhancements to the revolutionary Flektor (www.flektor.com) online polling tool gave industry-leading pollsters, John McLaughlin and Geoffrey Garin, the ability to customize and provide more detailed feedback for the online audience to instantaneously indicate their approval or disapproval of the Senator's responses. As a result, the pollsters offered further in-depth analysis and on-the-fly audience reaction to the candidate throughout the event, which helped to shape the direction of the forum.

The MySpace/MTV Presidential Dialogue with Barack Obama premieres tonight at 7pm ET on MTV. It is also available on demand at www.chooseorlose.com, on MySpace (www.myspace.com/election2008) and available in Spanish online at www.lavibra.com/candidatos.
