A chart portraying usage of key terms at the two respective conventions. Note that the Democrats referred frequently to "healthcare," "jobs," and "energy," while the Republicans brought up "business(es)," "God," and "taxes." Also, the Democrats said "McCain" far more than the Republicans said "Obama;" the latter avoided saying the Democrat's name by using phrases like, "our opponent."

Maybe they are trying to marginalize Obama like they did Paul. Do you suppose McCain will win the general "unanimously" as well?

It's a play... I'm just waiting for the god damn show to end. And no, I'm not hoping for an encore.
