Hulu will stream the last two presidential debates live as they happen on October 7th and October 15th, a first for the site known for its on-demand offering of TV shows and movies. Clearly making an attempt to encourage political discussion, the live broadcasts are accompanied by an Election '08 hub -- an idea that has become popular with other services like Twitter -- that houses everything from debates and commentary to political spoofs from SNL. Not content with discussion and streaming alone, the company will also premiere "Crawford," the politically charged documentary that follows George W. Bush's relocation to a small-town in Texas. While Hulu's future as a streaming service is unclear, its actions at least demonstrate initial experiments with the functionality.
