...video questions will be tossed their way, all pre-selected by CNN, which will air the forum from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. Some of those who submitted questions will be sitting in the studio audience and will be allowed to ask follow up queries, adding a flesh-and-blood town-hall challenge to the candidates as well.
