0"He assured me that was on their agenda and gave me the impression that it was one of the issues that will be addressed in the big picture sense...I assume he means sequestration and taxes," Lucas told Politico last week. "When the speaker answered my question, the way he acted, led me to believe - I'll put it that way -that they are focused on the big picture and this is one of those elements. No more specifics than that."

-0.0718614"Tough situation in D.C.," Novakovic wrote in an email when asked about the most likely outcome for farm legislation. "Almost anything remains possible and I wouldn't bet a lot either for or against any outcome, but prospects for a proper farm bill before the end of the year are not good. I'm pretty sure if Congress can't come up with an agreement for a 'fiscal balloon' they won't be able to or inclined to do anything with a new farm bill."

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.
