NOTABLE QUOTE OF THE DAY ([link removed])

“Post-debate coverage matters as much, if not more, than the debate itself. Our hypothesis is that by quantifying the audience value of earned media, you can effectively use it as an early predictor of changes in the polls because so much of the polling in a crowded primary is reflective of name recognition."

– David Seawright, Deep Root Analytics
