Monkey Cage reader nimh has made Wordles of McCain’s and Obama’s remarks in last night’s debates. Find them and some observations on their content here.

I see that John McCain has a lot of “friends.” I noticed he used that word a lot during the debate, and sure enough, it shows up big in the Wordles. Somebody should coach him not to use that word—in my experience, when someone calls you “friend,” as in “Friend, listen here…” or “My friend, you have it all wrong…” it is mostly in a sarcastic sense.
