As a big fan of using data to tell stories about our world, I was fascinated by this graphic by Matthew Ericson of the New York Times. Analyzing transcrips from speeches at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, you can see some surprising (and some not-so-surprising) themes. Democratic speakers, for instance, mentioned opponent John McCain 3 times as often as the Republicans mentioned Barack Obama. The events of September 11th came up more often at the DNC, while terrorism/terrorists were addressed evenly by both parties. "Change" was the Dems number one word; "God" took first place for Repubs. Fascinating!
