This makes sense. I drive a cab from midnight to six. Most of my customers don't seem proficiently bipedal or, for that matter, quadrupedal.

I took John MCain's acceptance speech from last night's Republican convention and compared it to Barack Obama's acceptance speech from the Democratic convention and made wordles of each. John McCain's wordle is on top, Barack Obama's is on bottom. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos...">Best viewed large here.</a>

What worries me is that the word 'freedom' isn't big enough to see in either one.

I thought the word I and me would show more prominently in McCain's wordle. Fight is clearly visible.

interesting to see a few prominent word differences. McCain: fight, government, world, make. Obama: promise, time, new. Also interesting, in keeping the Palin-Biden wordle comparisons, that the Democrats mention McCain a lot in their speeches by name but the Republican's rarely mention Obama by name at all. Both seem to mention country, America, and Americans alot.

I could tell who's Wordle was who's as soon as I looked at it.

Obama is into McCain, but McCain is into Americans and the Country. hmm. Obama has America and American very large, but Americans is small? It just seems to me like Obama wants to tear us apart and McCain wants to fight for America. I know who Americans will vote for... not the guy who obviously hates them
- Noah David Simon
I think it is interesting how prominent the word "promise" is in the Obama one. Is he doing a lot of criticizing of other's promises or is he making a lot of his own?
- Kenton
@Kenton: Neither really. The usage was more in line with " indication of future excellence or achievement"
- AJ Kohn
excellence in tearing the other guy apart because he wants to fight for America? no thanks Obama
- Noah David Simon
looks like McCain doesn't make promises he can't keep

Fight for *some* of America it seems. And not fight and win at all costs in Iraq and hey, step off Iran and Russia we got some for you too. No thanks. I'll fight to get our economy back (which is directly related to the war), and eduction, and health care and equal rights. Oh, I'll fight alright.

The person on the left has much nicer hair. Just sayin.

Srsly, after seeing her on the news today I think the lady looks like a weird Fey-Lowenski cross. But yeah, I'm guessing Tina Fey will have some SNL special appearance gigs over the next couple of months.

@Jason Carreira...I see his plan now...always "working" late at the White House with the VP? It's like a late night Cinemax movie plot....not that I'd know...
