Program

Tonight when Iowans gather in living rooms and high school gyms to
take the first step in selecting our U.S. Presidential nominees,
Google and YouTube will give you a front row seat.

We're working together with local Iowan media organizations and
political parties to bring you real time results and
citizen-generated videos from the caucuses –- an up-close and
personal perspective in the process to elect the next
President.

Iowa caucus goers and out-of-state political pundits alike can
upload videos of the Iowa Caucus to YouTube, giving you a direct
view into this vibrant political scene. These Iowa Caucus videos
can be found at the href="http://www.youtube.com/iowacaucuses" id="ukk-" >Des Moines Register's YouTube
Channel and span a variety of perspectives from predictions and
personal reflections to interviews and candidate analysis.

And starting tonight (approx. 8-10 pm CST), you can use href="http://maps.google.com/#source=ogbiowa"
id="m1xq" >Google Maps to view real-time caucus results by
county. The political parties in Iowa will be working with us to
publish these results to our href="http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://www.google.com/mapfiles/mapplets/iowacaucus/iowacaucus.xml&ie=UTF8&ll=42.0656,-93.6914&spn=5.040111,5.493164&z=7&om=1"

Yesterday Senator Obama became the latest U.S. presidential
candidate to visit Google headquarters in Mountain View for href="http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2007/11/candidates-at-google-barack-obama.html" >
a talk and then Q&A. We're heartened to see how most
every candidate is taking full advantage of the Internet, by making
good use of YouTube together with their own websites, blogs and
social networks to inform voters of their positions and share more
of their thinking than traditional campaigns ever allowed.

The next big event we're looking forward to is the November 28
href="http://www.youtube.com/republicandebate?utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-google&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=political debates" >
CNN/YouTube Republican debate. Stay tuned for that, and if
you'd like to watch the talks other candidates have given at
Google, href="http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/search/label/Politicians at Google" >
here they are. height="1" width="1" />
