Interesting - word clouds of John McCain & Sarah Palin's speeches

I found the word clouds of John McCain & Sarah Palin's speeches fascinating.

Has anyone seen word clouds for Obama and Biden?

After reading your post, I was looking into creating an Obama word cloud with wordle but when I got there, I found one was already featured.

I noticed Obama featured John McCain's name almost as prominently as Sarah Plain did.

Thanks. That is a cool word cloud.

I like the color, but I didn't notice any patterns. Do you know if the colors mean anything.

Wired just posted a story displaying word clouds for all of the major speakers at both conventions.
