YouTube Videos Fuel Democratic Debate

We're going to stay along the shore of Lake Erie, where 16-year-old Jake Young of Rocky River looked into his video camera - Lake Erie behind him - and outlined his own concerns about invasive species. We found Young's video on YouTube where it was among hundreds posted from around the world directed at the Democratic presidential candidates. It was part of a unique format at last night's debate where the candidates took questions - not from a moderator - but from people on YouTube. ideastream's Eric Wellman spoke with Jake Young this morning.
