Our Election Oracle has noted a significant bump in Mitt Romney’s favorability online in the past week or so.
Who Should Be Stephen Colbert’s (Fake) Running Mate?: We used our super duper Election Oracle to search through 40,000 news sites, blog posts, and social media feeds to figure out who should be Colbert’s VP. (We also found that Colbert’s favorability rating is higher than Obama’s. LOL?)
In addition to bringing on David Frum and partnering with NBC News, we’ve also rolled out the Election Oracle (TRUMPETS!) in order to bring you the best 2012 election coverage ever!
What is the Election Oracle? It’s a tool that uses a form of artificial intelligence to look through some 40,000 news sites, blogs, message boards, and social media feeds and analyze what millions of people are saying about the candidates and hot button issues online. You can read more about its methodology here.
What’s the latest from the Oracle? The Oracle says (in what I imagine to be a very deep voice): “Huntsman Rises, Romney Feels the Heat.”
You can also follow the Oracle on Twitter.
