A picture is worth a thousand words, particularly in this case. Below is a word cloud of Palin’s answers in the Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden. Words that were said more frequently are larger, also, relative to others, also. Very interesting, don’t you think? Reminds me of the “blizzard of words” comment made by Charlie Gibson during the first Palin interviews.

McCain sat down with the ladies of The View today and it was surprisingly hardball interview, with questions on abortion, his vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and the attack ads he has been running against Obama. Three clips are below… check it out.
ABC released an excerpt from Charles Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin that will air nationally tonight. Apparently Alaska’s proximity to Russia provides her with special insight.
When asked by Gibson if under the NATO treaty, the U.S. would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: “Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help.
Palin advocated the accession of Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, meaning that if attacked again in the future, the United States would be bound to go to war….
“I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help,” she said.
Palin, who obtained her first passport this year and who has served just two years as Alaska’s governor, told Gibson that she was up to the challenge of being Sen. John McCain’s vice president.
Who let loose the dogs of war?
McCain was interviewed recently by WCSH’s John Caldwell in Portland Maine and had to answer some tough questions, and it’s clear he got a little testy at the end. Temper, temper John. I wonder if Charlie Gibson will be as tough on Sarah Palin… I doubt it. See clip below.
