Obama camp exudes confidence in home stretch | Essentials

Obama camp exudes confidence in home stretch

Excerpt:

madison, wisconsin The Obama campaign team is a notoriously disciplined bunch. So disciplined, in fact, that senior advisor David Axelrod's use of the word "loins" while talking with reporters in a Springfield, Ohio high school classroom Friday set off a round of wide-eyed, frantic typing on blackberries among staffers who were in the room. So it's not surprising that Obama campaign officials would express relentless optimism about their election day chances. Even if they thought they were fighting a losing battle, one gets the sense they would plaster a smile on their faces and assure you they feel fantastic. But as early voting figures pour in from half a dozen crucial battleground states, Obama campaign officials are exuding increasing confidence, even for them.

Key:

  • 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.
