GOP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Questions Are Offered
At least 11 D.C. residents or families have submitted videotaped questions for today's Republican presidential debate, asking whether candidates support congressional voting rights for the District.
The volunteers submitted their questions through YouTube, the online video-sharing site. They included two members of the D.C. Council, the chairman of the D.C. Republican Committee, a Vietnam veteran, a schoolteacher and an Abraham Lincoln look-alike. The advocacy group DC Vote helped produce the videos in collaboration with DCTV, the city's public access channel, officials said.
It is not known which of the nearly 5,000 questions offered will be chosen for the CNN/YouTube debate. The videos can be viewed at http:/
