One of the things that Steve and I talk about on our weekly radio show is how the presidential race isn’t so much a race between Sentator Obama and Senator McCain, but rather it’s a race between Obama and not-Obama.  McCain’s entire strategy appears to be about telling us that Obama would be bad for America and not telling us anything about the specific ways that John McCain would be a better choice.  But don’t take my word for it.  Let’s let the two campaign websites do all the talking.

Using Wordle — a clever little web app that takes all of the text on a given website and creates a text cloud where words that are used more frequently appear bigger — The Boston Globe was able to draw some startling comparisons about the two campaigns’ relative messages.
