I have a research paper on Political Blogs. I've decided to do it on LittleGreenFootballs.com since it seems to be the most popular. I have to say if the information seems credible and if there is a partisan slant..
I'm VERY new to political blogs and blogs in general so can someone help me understand this?...on the main page of LittleGreenFootballs.com are the articles posted there the blogs or are the comments people post on the articles the actual blogs? help pleaseee

I have yet to see a blog that is not slanted.
What you are seeing on the first page are links to the blog entries and what you are reading are quirps from the blog entries. Some are sanapsis and others are what the blog says itself. Mainly clicking on the links will take you to the full blog and allows you to comment and see what others comment on the actual entry. Most blogs I have seen are similar.

The articles, along with the owner's published thoughts, are the Blog. The rest is response to the blog. The URL in the sources box will show you that, by definition, a "blog" is the work of one person, not reactions by many others posted works.
You might want to compare some other blogs (sorry, these are all conservative):
http://michellemalkin.com/
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/
http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/welcome.cgi
The comments section format is very popular in its own right (liberal and conservative here):
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/browse
www.dailykos.com
www.democraticunderground.com
Those might be helpful for you to use as "compare and contrast" materials.
