Excerpt:

In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, President Obama's campaign outraised Mitt Romney's campaign by more than $37 million dollars, according to documents filed Thursday night with the Federal Election Commission, even though Romney ended the race with nearly $25 million in the bank. According to the FEC reports, the president's campaign, combined with a joint campaign/Democratic National Committee fundraising committee, spent $234. 4 million between October 18 and November 26, while the Romney campaign, in tandem with the Republican National Committee, spent $197 million dollars. The Obama team also outraised Romney as Election Day drew near: In the same October-November window, Romney for President and Romney Victory committees announced fundraising totals of over $85. 9 million; the Obama campaign and the Obama Victory committees raised $111 million during that period.

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.
