Obama vs. McCain Visual Map of Top Words Used Reveals Campaign Strategy

$McCain\'s category cloud of words used most often in his RSS feed$

These images were generated by an automated script using the RSS feeds from Obama's blog and McCains campaign RSS feed. The more often a word is used, the larger it appears. Just click on either image to see it bigger and you can really appreciate all their wordsmithing.

No shock to see that McCain's focused on himself and Obama's all about the people. It was pretty interesting to see the HIV messaging from Obama and McCain's seemingly deep desire to communicate that he can host an event. With a strategy like that, the only "celebrity" that needs to worry in November is Ryan Seacrest.

These category clouds were created over at wordle.net which is a pretty interesting tool to use to cut to the core of what someone's really feeding you in their RSS. I used Obama's blog RSS feed of http://feeds.feedburner.com/obama08blog and McCain's "campaign" RSS feed of http://www.johnmccain.com/Blog/RssFeed.aspx?tguid=411d0c95-bcaf-4c2... to generate these images.
