The Numbers Game

On June 27 I posted the first Avocare Numbers Game, in which we saw how many stories a Google News search generated for various search terms. That was the baseline; now for the one-month benchmark. Note the increase for "Iraq+Quagmire":

Iraq + Victory: 2,930 stories then, 3,160 stories now

Iraq + Defeat: 2,540 stories then, 1,920 stories now

Iraq + Failure: 4,910 stories then, 5,020 stories now

Iraq + Liberation: 1,830 stories then, 2,190 stories now

Iraq + Occupation: 7,340 stories then, 9,350 stories now

Economy + 2004 + Election: 1,440 stories then, 1,280 stories now

Iraq + 2004 + Election: 1,110 stories then, 1,850 stories now

Iraq + Quagmire: 189 stories then, 1,790 stories now
