PARC is a nonpartisan, independent program of the Center for Political Communication and Civic Leadership at the University of Maryland.

PARC is pleased to announce the Campaign 2008 Project (Democrats; Republicans; Independent Groups; General Election). This project offers critical analyses and other research about the political ads running in the 2008 presidential election.

Past PARC projects include analyses of ads from the 2004 presidential election and the Maryland 2006 Project that provided ad analyses of the ads from gubernatorial candidates Governor Bob Ehrlich and Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley and senatorial candidates Lt. Governor Michael Steele and Representative Ben Cardin.

The project also offered a news digest of political advertising coverage in the 2006 campaign.
