Yes and yes: U.S. presidential candidate John Edwards is for net neutrality, already sent a letter to the FCC about it, and would only appoint FCC commissioners who support it. He also gets the connection with media consolidation:

“What we have to do is make certain the net does not go the way of broadcast television and commercial radio where only a few corporate voices are heard.”

Among other candidates, Barack Obama already answered the question. Hm, looks like Huckabee has, too; more on that in another post.
