Ask Bill Richardson a question via his site

It seems that Bill Richardson's Presidential Campaign had a great time at the CNN/YouTube Debate on Monday that they added a new feature to their site. If you go to the "Ask Bill" page, you can fill out a form with your personal information and a link to the a video question that you have for the Governor.

He states on the page, "I wish I could get to every living room and meeting hall in this country to talk to people, shake hands, and answer questions face-to-face. I can't do that, but I can do the next best thing."

I'm wondering if candidates answering Internet video questions is just a fad, but this is a sign that the presidential campaigns are taking those questions seriously.

Something that should be mentioned about “Ask Bill” is that this is a continuation of what Richardson has done to reach out to during his time in Congress and as Governor. He held over 175 town hall meetings a year when he was in Congress and regularly held “open office” days at Governor when anyone could come by and talk.

I think this is a good idea. I also think this is part of a fad. Or at least it won’t be an earth change making event. You’ll see a few candidates install this tactic. Some will do it to take lob balls from the audience. Others won’t do it at all. And that’s how it could be from now on.
