This bibliography includes all things political/rhetorical that are not presidential. For presidential rhetoric bibliographies please go to Presidential Rhetoric: General and Comparative Sources, and Presidential Rhetoric: Sources on Individual Presidents A to Z. The Political Rhetoric bibliography is especially strong on Debates, Campaigns and Conventions. Presidential campaigns are included here, for candidates prior to becoming president, after which their rhetoric becomes officially presidential. When in doubt, check cite in both places and if editing, duplicate the title wherever it fits. This page is overseen by Allan Louden.
