Today Gus sent me a great link to Speech Wars. They are downloading the speeches from each nominee's campaign and giving you a way to check out when, and how often any word is used. They display it in two graphs or, if your interested in the words used most often, you can check out the word clouds (pictured above). I don't know why I picked it, but John McCain has said the word fun 6 times and Obama, never. On the other hand, Obama has said dance twice and McCain isn't going anywhere near that.
