 LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- MySpace, the world's most popular social network, and MTV, the leading global youth brand, along with the Associated Press, today announced "Closing Arguments: A Presidential Super Dialogue." The event will offer candidates polling above 10%* a final chance to address the nation -- particularly the energized and pivotal youth voting bloc -- in advance of Super Tuesday, an unprecedented moment in U.S. political history, when more than 20 states hold presidential primaries or caucuses. Frontrunner candidates Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee are the first confirmed participants for the next installment of MySpace and MTV's acclaimed Presidential Dialogue Series, taking place Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 6 PM ET on-air, online, radio and mobile phones. The Associated Press will distribute a live feed and on-demand highlights of the Dialogue to the 1,800 media sites in its Online Video Network; nearly 600 of those are local TV, newspaper or radio sites in states with Super Tuesday primaries. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Barack Obama and John Edwards have all been invited to participate in the event as well.

Young voters have turned out at primaries and caucuses in record numbers this year -- tripling their presence in Iowa and South Carolina, and doubling in New Hampshire vs. four years ago -- and their support will translate to 100s of delegates on Super Tuesday, February 5th. The "Super Dialogue" will give each participating candidate an opportunity to engage with this audience and individually address questions posed by online viewers via MySpaceIM, ChooseOrLose.com and from the live, college-aged audience in MTV's Times Square studio in New York. Candidates have the freedom to join from the studio or via satellite from the campaign trail. MTV News Correspondents Gideon Yago and Sway Calloway, as well as WashingtonPost.com political reporter Chris Cillizza will return to moderate, joined by a top AP political reporter covering the campaign.

The fourth in the groundbreaking series, the upcoming Presidential Super Dialogue will be the most publicly accessible and interactive presidential candidate event in history, with more mediums available for people to tune in and engage with a live event than ever before, including:
