The GOP presidential candidates took part in another debate last night, and the Denver Post's coverage was very plain. Other than a photo slideshow, the Post had just one article covering the debate, and it was not very prominent on the homepage.

The homepage includes a politics tab, but the stories being shown on the homepage all had to deal with local political issues. In order to find coverage of the debate, a person would have to click the politics tab and and go the the Post's politics page to find any articles.

During the Colorado primary, the Denver Post did do an exceptional job of providing up to the minute coverage on what was going on that night, including live blogging, constantly updated articles, and, of course, photos.

The one area of the Denver Post's coverage that has continued to impress me is its photography. For every primary and debate, the Post has created a photo slideshow highlighting the night's events and the what the candidates were doing. These slideshows include many behind-the-scenes photos that provide an interesting and new look at the race for the GOP presidential nomination.
