I would have to say no. MySpace tends to be used by younger people. How many fifty year-olds have MySpace accounts? This segment of the population is notorious for not showing up on election day. While you may get to see the candidates in a different setting trying to sway a different crowd, I think it will have very little effect on the outcome of the election.

No. Absolutely Not. MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Owner of the New York Post and Fox.
Of course it will not be a fair forum.

No. They will be catering to My Space users, not exactly a cross section of the population.
