Scott Brown's farewell speech hints at comeback
Sen. Scott Brown, the Massachusetts Republican who lost his re-election bid this November in a costly race against Democrat Elizabeth Warren, hinted on the Senate floor that he could soon be back in Washington. "As I've said many times before, victory and defeat is temporary," he said in his farewell speech. "Depending on what happens, and where we go, all of us, we may obviously meet again, but I'm looking forward to continuing on with those friendships, with continuing on working with my staff." Brown similarly said "defeat is only temporary" in his November concession speech. The Republican was elected to represent Massachusetts in a 2010 special election after the death of Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy. Even though Massachusetts is a solidly blue state, the 2012 Senate battle was one of the most expensive and contentious congressional battles of the year.

- 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.
