For GOVT 2305 students, here are a few websites that should help you isolate where each candidate is positioned ideologically. Remember that I want you to look at divisions within either party since that is what's at issue right now. I want you to develop your own specific take on the topic, but think about honing on the divisions that might matter most in determining which candidates receive their party's nomination. Differences between the parties will matter more during the general election, but we are far away from that.
This site might be especially useful to you:
