After the success of last night's CNN/YouTube debate, the Cable News Network today announced that for the next Republican presidential debate it would also team with YouTube's parent company, Google, to do background research on the questioners.

"We were excited to learn about Google this morning," said the CNN source. "We want to introduce this amazing service to the rest of America. Our viewers will be stunned to learn that you can just enter a name in a little box and press a button to get all of this information."

Among the videos submitted by ordinary Americans for last night's intramural GOP scrimmage were questions from supporters of Democrat presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and from a union activist for the United Steel Workers, which has endorsed Mr. Edwards.

CNN's Anderson Cooper, who moderated the debate, apologized because the network was not aware that many of the other questioners had "no legitimate connection with the Democrat National Committee or its affiliates."

"Now that we know about Google," said Mr. Cooper, "we can do a better job of screening to make sure that Democrats are represented more adequately."
