YouTube is reporting on the company blog that the site's YouChoose '08 page is getting some changes as the candidate field continues to narrow. As the national focus begins to shift from the primaries and caucuses to the conventions and eventual national election, the hub page for the election is expanding to add more content from news organizations, bloggers, and average users.
Each day the page will feature five timely videos related to the election, and every Friday they will do a "Best of the Week" round up of those videos. The news section will include content produced by national news sources such as the Associated Press, CBS News, and The New York Times, as well as content coming in from local television stations and newspapers. As the summer opens and moves along, YouTube will also be adding to their coverage congressional, state, and eventually, local elections.
One of the most exciting features promises to be the playlist box where you can keep track of what each candidate is saying about a given issue at that time. For those of you who enjoy political honesty, and track the candidates' rhetorical transgressions, you can also check out previous debates and videos at the bottom of the page so you can compare what they're saying now as opposed to what they had said in the past.
