The Numbers Game (V 4)

On August 8 I posted the third Avocare Numbers Game, in which we saw how many stories a Google News search generated for various search terms. Now for another benchmark:

• Iraq + Victory: 2,930 stories then, 3,670 stories now

• Iraq + Defeat: 1,650 stories then, 3,050 stories now

• Iraq + Failure: 4,050 stories then, 5,180 stories now

• Iraq + Liberation: 924 stories then, 1,490 stories now

• Iraq + Occupation: 9,650 stories then, 9,530 stories now

• Economy + 2004 + Election: 1,280 stories then, 1,960 stories now

• Iraq + 2004 + Election: 1,880 stories then, 2,020 stories now

• Iraq + Quagmire: 440 stories then, 842 stories now

• Howard + Dean + Lose: 276 stories then, 351 stories now

• Howard + Dean + Win: 1,230 stories then, 1,690 stories now

And two new items:

• Wesley + Clark + Lose: 380 stories

• Wesley + Clark + Win: 1,260 stories
