## Political Slant Tweets Dataset

Political slant transfer dataset. Contains two classes of political tweets between Democratic and Republican Politicans. This dataset can be used for classification tasks.

This is taken directly from:

    http://tts.speech.cs.cmu.edu/style_models/political_data.tar
    tar -xvf political_data.tar

I can't take credit for this dataset; this is largely the work of Prabhumoye et al. This is simply a Wrapper for that dataset. See References below.
