In the brief clip below, CNN's DC Bureau Chief Sam Feist describes how CNN will incorporate social media into the New Hampshire Republican Presidential Debate.

Anyone discussing the debate online is encouraged to use the hashtag #CNNDebate, which will flag comments and questions for CNN staffers' attention. The set for the debate will include a video monitor with a stream of Facebook, Twitter and CNN.com comments on the debate.

Some of the comments and questions might even be used on-air in the debate.

CurrentTV was using Twitter during debate coverage back in 2008. It will be interesting to see how social media in politics evolves during the 2012 campaign.
