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.

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.
