Head of News and Politics at YouTube, Steve Grove helped launch "You Choose '08," designed to educate, empower, and connect voters and presidential candidates through the power of online video. Millions of people have checked out the candidates' YouTube Channels, and thousands have communicated directly with those running for President via ratings, comments and video responses. Going one step further in leveling the political playing field was the CNN/YouTube debates where, for the first time in history, questions in a primary debate came straight from YouTube videos. The title of his presentation is "YouTube Politics: How the Internet is Changing Democracy."
