Excerpt:

Because of the head-spinning legislative logistics involved in crafting and passing a bill, congressional Republicans and the White House really would have to get the ball rolling on a deal this week if they want to pass something by Jan. 1.   Officials have been scrambling for weeks in hope of writing some alternative package to avert the sweeping set of tax hikes and spending cuts poised to go into effect at the beginning of January. But despite possible signs of progress -- namely, a face-to-face meeting Sunday afternoon between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner -- the two sides have just a matter of days to work things out.   That's because both sides will need to account for the time it takes to actually bring the bill to the floor.

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.
