According to current media:
Senator Barack Obama is a beacon of change within the
democratic party while Senator Hillary Clinton is status quo.
According to the data in the GovtTrack.us data space:
Senator Barack Obama is a rank-and-file Democrat according to
GovTrack's analysis of his track record in
congress. Whereas, Senator Hillary Clinton is a radical
democrat, according to the same Govt. Track analysis of her track record in
congress.
Who do we believe? The GovtTrack.us performance data, old media
pundits, or postulations of the candidates? GovtTrack.us is a new
approach to candidate vetting. It provides data in traditional
Document
Web and Linked Data Web forms, placing analytic power
in the hands of the citizen.
Here are insights into the track records of Senators Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama via the Zitgist Linked Data Viewer:
-

Note: I am not aligned to any political party or candidate, this
is just a demonstration of Linked Data that has a high degree of
poignancy relative to US primary elections etc..
