Yeah, yeah... another "speech" thread, but in this case, I am not here looking for the quality of the delivery but instead, what was in the packages that were delivered.

Here is a break down in graphical format (balloons) as to what keywords came up most often during the various speeches from both conventions. I found it rather interesting since it has several speakers from both parties.

The Words They Used
Words They Used - 2008 Political Conventions - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com

Link provides pictorial.

Quote:
The words that speakers used at the two political conventions show the themes that the parties have highlighted. Republican speakers have talked about reform and character far more frequently than the Democrats. And Republicans were more likely to talk about businesses and taxes, while Democrats were more likely to mention jobs or the economy.
