YouTube doesn't want to be just a goof-off destination anymore. It just went a little C-SPAN.Yesterday, as part of what the video-sharing site described as a voter education initiative, it launched You Choose '08, where voters can find the official Web videos from Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Barack Obama et al., all listed on one page. You know, the ones that the candidates want you to see, as opposed to the unofficial videos that are some of the most watched on the site.
