It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the plethora of political web sites and blogs available on the net, and yet having up-to-the-minute reliable information about burning issues, candidates, and all things related to the election process is extremely relevant right now.
The folks at the Documents Center of University of Michigan Library have provided a great comprehensive web site that organizes this huge mass of information so that by using the quick jumps at the top of the page, you can navigate to Presidential and Congressional candidate profiles and financial disclosures, political advertising, public opinion polls, campaign finance reports, debate transcripts, and information about lobby groups. Major policy issues are covered with a variety of materials such as congressional bills, agency reports, speeches, laws, and policy papers. All of the information is continually being updated and will be for the next year.
These folks have been providing election information online since 2000 and historical information is available as well.
