Presidents Today Talk Change - NYT

NVDL: This is fascinating. Each number represents 25 000 times that a word has been used. So 'change' has been referenced by the Democrats 89 x 25 000 times. The Republicans went bigger on God (43 x 25 000).

But here's a scary thought. How did the New York Times come up with this data. If they can count how many times all sorts of people say what they say, and count them to make this elegant portfolio.

clipped from www.nytimes.com 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.
