UPDATE: Here's the statement from Governor Dean:

"We're delighted that the first of the DNC-sanctioned debates will present voters with a truly innovative opportunity to engage directly with our outstanding Democratic candidates. The Democratic Party is committed to helping usher in a new era in American politics that recognizes campaigns require a two-way dialogue between voters and their candidates on the future of our country. This historic partnership between CNN, YouTube/Google, and the South Carolina Democratic Party helps move political campaigns in that direction, and marks a new era in American politics. I am pleased that the DNC could help play a role in facilitating this revolutionary and unique event, and that our strong field of Democratic candidates will get to share their vision of leadership for America's future with voters across the country, and across the internet."
