RENO, Nev. -- Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan started just what he called a "barnburner" of a last day on the campaign path, courting voters out west in Nevada. "Are you gonna help us win this thing Nevada? We're doing a barnburner today. We are crisscrossing the country Mitt and I are because we are asking you to work with us, to stand with us to get our country back on the right track," Ryan informed the group inside a hangar at the Reno Tahoe International Airport. Ryan is holding 5 campaign rallies in 4 time zones Monday while Romney is holding 5 occasions along the East Coast. Monday's stop in Reno marks the GOP VP nominee 's sixth event in the Silver State and, with nationwide surveys tight in between Romney and President Barack Obama, Ryan said Tuesday's election could boil down to Nevada.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Excerpt:

Four female military service members have filed a lawsuit challenging the Pentagon's ban on women serving in combat. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco Tuesday and is the second such federal challenge filed by female service members this year. The latest demands the lifting of the military's so-called combat exclusionary policy that applies to all women. The lawsuit alleges the ban on a single gender violates constitutional equal protection rights and unfairly blocks women from promotions and other advancements open to men in combat. Further, the lawsuit alleges that women are already serving unofficially in combat units. Two of the four women who filed the lawsuit have received Purple Heart medals for injuries sustained in Afghanistan. The women are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union.
