We're in the process of collecting expansive interviews with the various candidates as part of MPR's online coverage of Campaign 2006. These are also being used to ascertain specific positions for the upcoming version of Select A Candidate.
I'm going to post these interviews raw here as they come in. They'll also be added to the individual canditate pages on the Campaign 2006 Web site (hey, there isn't a better one, trust me!). And the individual statements on the issues will also be stripped and categorized on the candidate page.
This effort is independent of my broadcast brethren - shows like Midday and Midmorning, since the format here allows much more in-depth presentations.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
