Of course it wasn't a good integration.

A "Facebook" debate would work well if done similarly to the youtube debate. Have people submit questions before and during the debate. Have a ranking system working in real time that lets users bump the best questions to the top of the heap. The realtime nature of the system could allow followup questions to be quickly thrown back at a candidate later in the same debate.

Apply instant community judgements of candidate responses. If a guy avoids a question and gives an irrelevant response, in the judgement of the community, have a big neon sign come up somewhere that says, "Avoiding the question!"

And since it's facebook, it'd be interesting to use the social graph somehow. Sure, you could have it show a user what his friends are saying, but I'm not sure how a social effect would get to the candidates...
