Barack Obama Wins First Online Mashup Debate

Barack Obama has won the first online debate, Yahoo’s Democratic Candidate Mashup. There was a real winner because viewers were allowed to vote. Obama won the poll with 35%, and Hillary Clinton was just behind him with 31% of the vote. Clinton’s videos got more viewings though. Only 16% of the more than a million viewers voted. The forum was sponsored by Yahoo!, The Huffington Post and Slate. The only other candidate to get into double digits was John Edwards with 12%. You can still see the debate and results at Yahoo! News.
