The Boston Globe made this cloud of McCain and Obama’s campaign blogs’ most frequently used words. It’s pretty amazing. The most frequently used word of both campaigns is “Obama.” In the world of soundbites and shouting pundits, it’s interesting to see that McCain’s campaign seems to focus on tearing down Obama rather than offering anything positive. Most of his biggest words are also from attacks on Obama. (Visit, Canceled, Hospital, Tires, Opposed, Troop, Drilling.)
The Obama tag cloud is almost a parody of Obama. Common words include Obama, feel, future, change, inspired, can, hope, grassroots, and America. Of course, if you look at the smaller words, you can see hints of actual discussion about meatier issues.
