Additional Candidate Comparison Paper Info

I accidentally left the following information off the Candidate Comparison Guidelines. You are required to follow these guidelines, too.

You should have four sources for your paper and they have to fit these categories.

1 and 2: You will need one source that is officially from each of the two candidates you are comparing. The easiest thing is to go to the official web site of each of the candidates. Incumbents all have an official government site. Most of them will also have an official campaign site, too. A growing number of them will also have official blogs. You may also use speeches, interviews and the like, but only if they include the actual words of the candidate.

3: You need a non-partisan source that is unbiased. This would include newspapers (such as the New York Times or the Washington Post, magazines, television stations and non-partisan organizations such as Project Vote Smart, On the Issues, or other similar sites.

4: You need a partisan source that is biased. This can include interest groups (NRA [Must be a member], LCV, Christian Coalition, or ACLU), political parties or other groups.
