Campaign rallies on hold after storm, Romney to attend relief-effort events in Ohio | Essentials

Campaign rallies on hold after storm, Romney to attend relief-effort events in Ohio

Excerpt:

Superstorm Sandy tore into the U.S. presidential race as President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney canceled campaign events, punching holes in their carefully mapped-out strategies for the final week of one of the closest contests in recent history. Seven days before the election, both men and their running mates tempered their campaigns for Tuesday, eager not to appear out of sync with more immediate worries over flooding, power outages, economic calamity and personal safety. Neither Obama nor Vice President Joe Biden planned to campaign. Romney was going forward with a planned event in Ohio, but his campaign said its focus would be storm relief. The storm will dominate the news and distract a nation of voters during the crucial handful of days that remain before Nov. 6.

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.
