State Archives and the New Hampshire Historical Society.
C-SPAN:
Road to the White House - Information, links and
some streaming video events from one of the nation's leading
sources of raw political television coverage. Covers the various
likely Presidential candidates. Constantly updated.
Ballot
Access News - This respected publication -- founded
in 1985 by Libertarian activist Richard Winger -- tracks the
attempts of third party and independent candidates for various
offices to secure ballot access in the 50 states. The site also
tracks changes in the law, court challenges and other interesting
tidbits of third party news you usually won't find elsewhere.
Use this page to stay current on which third party and independent
candidates will and won't appear on your state's general election
ballot in November 2008
Democracy
in Action: P2012 - A great site has lots of detailed
information on the 2012 Presidential contest. Published by Eric
Appleman of GWU. Eric has been covering the White House races
starting with the 2000 elections. Very useful, well balanced.
A great resource.
Atlas
of U.S. Presidential Elections - Dave Leip prepared
this very informative site, which provides historic voting results
from the Presidential general elections of 1860-2008. Covers
the vote totals for the major party nominees and the top 2-3
third party nominees in each race. Colorful maps and graphs,
too.
PollingReport.com
- Why bother reinventing the wheel and writing our own poll
tracking page when this excellent page already exists. To follow
the trends in all of the latest polls in the White House race,
simply visit this site.
Commission
on Presidential Debates - Established by leaders of
the two major parties to ensure that debates remain a permanent
part of every general election, this nonprofit and bipartisan
organization sponsored all the general election Presidential
debates since 1988. Their controversial and restrictive participation
rules largely exclude third party candidates (even the major
ones) from participating in these nationally televised debates.
VicePresidents.com
- No one pays much attention to Vice Presidents -- or, at least,
they didn't used to -- except for these guys. History, trivia,
quotes, bios, and more.
4President.org
- An online museum of Presidential campaign brochures, bumper
stickers and key speches from 1960 through the 2008 campaign.
A great site for political junkies.
The
Living Room Candidate - The American Museum of
the Moving Image presents this great online museum of Presidential
campaign TV commercials. The ads, which cover every election
since 1952 (Ike vs. Stevenson), are an amazing resource.
Selecting Yes or No for a question determines your candidate matches (% agreement). You're matched only on yes and no responses you and the candidates have in common.
