The Words They Used

The New York Times has put together this wonderful set of visualizations displaying the frequency of certain words and phrases spoken during both national conventions.  It’s fascinating when you think about the differing connotations of each party’s use of words like “change” or “energy.” It’s also interesting that McCain did not use the phrase “September Eleventh,” nor did he say the word “Cheney.” (via Coudal)
