Stylometry might give objective evidence that Ayers was Obama's ghost writer

What does it matter if Ayers wrote Obama’s book? No-one is going to care, if he did.

Obama stated unequivocally that he had little relationship with Ayers. If Ayers in fact wrote Obama's books, that would imply that either:

1. Obama's "autobiographies" were written by someone who had little relationship with him. That would imply that they were multi-million-dollar frauds perpetrated against the American public, and further, that any image of Obama that people got from the books was a total fabrication.

2. Obama flat out lied about his relationship with someone of dubious character. Flat out lied, in a manner that no amount of Liberal Mind Fog can conceal.

If Ayers' authorship could be proven in a way that could penetrate LMF, Obama would be toast.

Getting through to someone the fact that Obama's "autobiographies" were written by Ayers would be difficult. I think that if they were actually persuaded of that, their view toward Obama would change. Unfortunately, liberals are very good at coming up with rationalizations as to how things can be other than what they are (e.g. one to whom I was walking four years ago claimed that Kilian had saved the memos to a computer file and later reprinted it).

If anyone is comfortable with statistics and wants to run a comparison of Ayers/Obama with Signature, I have all of the books in text format.
