Excerpt:

Fiji residents are starting to tidy up after a powerful cyclone blew with the Pacific island nation. Cyclone Evan on Monday tore roofs from residences and churches, flooded roadways and forced thousands to leave their residences. Strong seas near the capital, Suva, pulled 2 container ships onto a reef. Authorities state they intend to refloat them. Overall, Fiji appears to have come with the storm fairly undamaged, with some locations yet to be assessed. There are no reports of deaths, the international airport at Nadi reopened Tuesday and a lot of tourist resorts sustained only minor damage. Power and interactions continue to be down in parts of the country. The storm previously created greater havoc on Samoa. Authorities on Tuesday deserted a look for 10 missing out on fishermen, bringing the death toll there to 14.

Obama Aide Bets Moustache on Mitt's 'Myth'

Excerpt:

That's how Obama campaign manager Jim Messina explained the state of the presidential race today, less than a week before voters head to the surveys. Democrats have actually been heartily positive about their leads, swatting away speculation today that brand-new advertisements and campaign stops in states that had been considered safe-- Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania-- are signs of a struggling campaign. "I've put my moustache on the line," senior planner David Axelrod stated of Obama's chances of holding those 3 states. Get even more pure politics at ABCNews. com/Politics and a lighter take on the information at OTUSNews. com
Axelrod earlier today bet Joe Scarborough, host of "Morning Joe," that he would "shave off my moustache of 40 years if we lose any of those states.".

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.
