Are the Republicans Afraid of YouTube?

Lot of buzz on the blogosphere this morning about the Republicans bailing out on the scheduled YouTube debate in September.

But now the GOP candidates seem to be ducking their chance to take questions from citizens who submmit them vis YouTube. Talkingpointsmemo.com has a lot on this.

As Josh Marshall, the brilliant entrepreneur behind Talkingpointsmemo, puts it: If they can't face YouTube they couldn't face the terrorists.
