If you live in the United States, you’re probably aware that CNN and YouTube are co-sponsoring a Republican presidential debate tomorrow evening.

The debate format features questions posed to the presidential candidates by US voters, which are submitted via YouTube.

The event’s executive producer and Washington bureau chief David Bohrman spoke with a bunch of reporters Monday, including one from Wired News. (For more, see Wired News’ story: "CNN-YouTube Debate Producer Doubts The Wisdom of the Crowd … and for more on how one CNN reporter views questions submitted via YouTube, see this transcript, provided by the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters. )

A consistent theme that Bohrman sounded in the interviews was that CNN would be weeding out "Democratic grenades and gotchas, because that’s not appropriate for what this is."

While a few, like this one about abortions, and this sarcastic foray into Second Amendment rights seem like questions that would have been submitted by Democrats, there are lots of other pointed questions that might have come from Republicans. (In fact, there are quite a few video questions from Republican voters who are fed up with their party.)

For example, the libertarian wing of the Republican party is very concerned about the state of constitutional rights in this country. So are several high school students and others across the political spectrum:

To be sure, there were many other straightforward questions from members of groups such as The Young Republican National Federation. Its leader Jessica Colon and field organizer Rachel Hoff rallied its members, and managed to get them to submit at least 13 videos.

Aside from the these questions, US voters submitted plenty of sharp and difficult queries that make for a fascinating few minutes spent online simply because of the questions’ wide ranging subject matter.

Then there’s this request, which seems to address Bohrman’s point directly, even if inadvertently.

The questioner says: "Hi — I have a favor to ask all of the GOP candidates on stage. Tonight can you please stop the Hillary bashing? It seems that every Republican debate I’ve watched turned into a bash Hillary-fest.

And the viewers, including myself, learn nothing about your true thoughts and opinions. I already know the opinions and positions of Senator Hillary Clinton. I want to know yours, and what you would do as president.

So tonight, stop mentioning Hillary Clinton, and mention what you’re going to do as president."

CNN’s producers received almost 5,000 video submissions. It would be impossible for them to do all of the submissions justice — there are so many great questions, some of them posed so simply, yet so effectively.

It would be refreshing to see some of the more unusual ones get picked so that voters can really see the personalities of the candidates shine through as they respond to the unusual and unexpected.
