CNN joins both presidential campaigns in making a big play for the youth vote and it looks like they have found a new genuine, compelling political voice with the addition of Cat Castellanos.

She has a great family pedigree. Her father, Alex, is a GOP campaign veteran, CNN election anaylst and one of the greatest writers and message gurus in the business. She seems to have picked up a few lessons and built them into her own forceful but friendly writing. She admits to being conservative but talks about the influence of growing up in a progressive Washington with gay teachers.  She captures the current political quandry for young people trying to work out which candidate is best.  She calls Mitt Romney “Grandpa Eddie” and President Obama “Aerosmith,” not a full slam but not a compliment either.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck better not take any vacations from “The View” this Georgetown grad is young, female and on fire.

Mark Halperin, Time reporter and MSNBC analyst published a copy of the debate rules signed by both campaigns.  Take a look before you watch Tuesday’s debate.

Mark’s post:

EXCLUSIVE: Here is the full text of the memorandum of understanding agreed to by the Obama and Romney campaigns for their three presidential and one vice presidential debates.

The deal was signed on October 3, the day of the first presidential debate in Denver. The negotiators and signers were veteran Washington campaign lawyers Bob Bauer (for the President) and Ben Ginsberg (for Mitt Romney).

Neither the Commission on Presidential Debates nor the debate moderators are parties to the agreement.

I wrote Sunday about those provisions spelling out the campaigns’ conception of the role of the moderator for Tuesday’s town hall debate.

Some highlights from the full document:

• What would happen if another candidate qualified for the debates.
• The candidates agreed not to publicly call for any additional debates beyond the Commission-sponsored events.
• Candidates aren’t allowed to cite anyone in the audience (besides family members) during the debate.
• Candidates aren’t allowed to address questions to each other or ask the other candidate to take a pledge.
• The moderators can’t do “show of hands” questions.

For those looking to Washington this weekend for the stars and the CEOS, please remember that this weekend is about the work and journalism of the White House Correspondents who without glamour or glitz toil away to try to explain what is happening at the White House and to try to get the Obama White House to explain what they are doing.

Check out the association’s web site for more on their work and the breathtaking photos taken by their awardees.

Go to Gretawire.com and congratulate Greta Van Susteren on ten years of “On The Record” on Fox News Channel.  Greta is still the newest talent on the powerhouse Fox prime time schedule, winning her time slot, batting away competitor after competitor. Typical Greta, no big party celebrating the big day.  Instead she is blogging on Greta Wire…

“Today is the exact day we launched…..February 4, 2002.  Incidentally, right before Feb. 4, 2002, I had just had the bags under my eyes fixed and because I was still swollen, I did still look a bit like the Pillsbury Doughboy, didn’t I?     I got so much media attention for being open about plastic surgery that ON THE RECORD at 10pm got a huge media launch.  Everyone one was talking about it.  It was incredible – even the cover of People Magazine!  Although it was certainly not planned to be a marketing ploy, it ended up being a phenomenal to launch a show.  Even when the critics had something to say about me they mentioned our new show…and mentioning the new show – regardless of what was said – was big for our launch!  It is buzz!  It didn’t matter what they were saying – it mattered that they were saying it and paying attention and telling everyone else about the new show.  Buzz gets everyone paying attention.   No other cable news show has ever gotten a media launch like that and the funny thing?  It did not cost Fox a dime.  It was total luck.  At the time I thought – if only I were smart enough to have planned it to work out this way…but it was just plain luck.

Besides working with great people, and having great friends, I have had lots of luck.  I was extraordinarily lucky to have been chosen by Roger Ailes to anchor the new Fox cable show at 10p.   Frankly, he could have picked a lot of people – there are a lot of good people out there – but he picked me.

I also know and have told ALL OF YOU many times here on GretaWire, you are a GIANT part of the success of ON THE RECORD at 10pm for 10 years straight.  Without you, we would not be successful – and we sure would not be #1 for 10 straight years without you.

And, of course, with GretaWire, I feel like I know many of you and that you are my friends – even on those occasions when you are clobbering me for something I said or did  (and yes, many times I may deserve it.)  But, what is fun is that even when we get into the occasional dust up with each other we all get over it and move on.  I love good strong debate.”
