Words spoken in the Democratic and Republican Convention

Obama's Speech in the Democratic Convention

Romney's Speech in the Republican Convention

By observing the large words on both of the world clouds, it is evident that both candidates have repeated several same words. Both Obama and Romney have Address "America" and "Americans" numerous times. In order to connect with their audience, both candidates mention "jobs", "children", and "family" in order to also appeal to the greater masses. Further, both of their word choices such as "future," and "promise" held a sense of optimism in the tone of their speeches. Other words such as "taxes", "college", "economy" "business" and "economy" was also thrown around in different contexts. Both candidates spoke about similar topics but had opposing views. The only different topic that they addressed was women(Romney) and the individuals serving the military(Obama). Even though, Romney's speech was more focused on business, he constantly repeat the same words over and over again. Whereas Obama's word choice was more diverse. Instead of directly mentioning Romney (as Romney would with Obama), he would refer to him as his "opponent" or his "friend down in Tampa" (refers to the Republican Convention). Overall, both speeches were relatively similar  with similar issues being addressed.
