Selling The Presidency
Since 1998, the Wisconsin Advertising Project (WiscAds) has undertaken research initiatives to document how candidates, political parties and special interest groups communicate with voters. Initially, WiscAds studied campaign advertisements in the nation’s 75 largest media markets by collecting and analyzing all political advertisements aired on broadcast and cable stations. For the 2002 electoral cycle, the project increases in scope to the 100 largest media markets. This unique database contains information on the airing of over 1.5 million ads between 1998 and 2002.

More Truth Or Consequences
Politifact - Has devised a "Truth-O-Meter" so you can see at a glance the validity of a candidate's claims. Content is organized with tabs such as "Chain E-Mails," "Flip-O-Meter," which shows candidates position flipping, and "Attack File," which reviews candidate's attacks and discusses their legitimacy. It is run by the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly to help determine the truth of the respective presidential campaigns.
