I just ran John McCain’s speech from the final day of the RNC 2008 convention through Wordle to generate a word cloud to see major themes.

these are quite awesome–nice work. btw, Fight with a capital is a different word?

hey – good catch! I didn’t realize Wordle was case sensitive. I guess the side effect of that, is that you can tell roughly how often he started a sentence with Fight… rather than just using it in a sentence.

Interesting to see the difference in frequency of use of the opposing candidate’s name between the two: McCain said “Obama” less frequently…hmmm.
