april launch - http://blogs.zdnet.com/micro-markets/?p=1137

UPDATE: YouTube has officially debuted its promised CitizenTube, a  
political vlog, "moderated" by YouTube News & Politics Editor, Steve  
Grove. Grove was hired by YouTube last month to "highlight must-see  
videos from candidates and users, and offering my own spin on the  
election as it unfolds on YouTube."

CitizenTube complements "YouChoose '08," YouTube's central hub of  
video channels created for Presidential candidates AND, most  
importantly, the Google-YouTube sales ambitions to capture a large  
Googley share of the projected $80 million online presidential 2008  
campaign ad spend, as I report below.

With YouTube hosting a politics channel, and Huffington Post working  
with NewAssignment.net to field a bunch of citizen journalists, the  
upcoming U.S. election campaign could be very interesting indeed. If  
YouTube were still a small startup, this might be seen as a “power to  
the people” kind of move, but now that the video site is part of the  
Googleplex, there are already some — like Republican media strategist  
David All — who are concerned about the amount of power and influence  
Google has.
