Stats in the Wild

Recently, I posted (“Multidimensional Scaling, Republican Presidential Candidates, and ‘a douchebag” and “Tracking the Republican candidates via google auto-complete“) about Google auto-complete and potential Republican presidential candidates.  Slate.com posted a good piece called “Google’s GOP Search Suggestion” (a day after my original post, I should note) where they look at the auto-complete for candidates names using a Google image search rather than a straight Google search.
