Visual Analysis Of Palin's Acceptance Speech

Thursday September 4, 2008

Using Wordle, I've created a visual analysis (comparable to a tag cloud) of Sarah Palin's acceptance speech. Wordle is a simple tool that allows us to use visual cues to illustrate word frequency. In this case, words that are "small" appear less frequently than words that are large.

You can read the text of the speech or watch the full speech on MCNBC.
