Many of you are familiar with Wordle, the website that lets you plug in a sentence, paragraph or web site to produce an interactive word cloud. The folks at Wired took some of the key memorable passages from speakers at both the RNC and the DNC and put them through Wordle's paces for a visual recap of the Republican and Democratic conventions. Here is the order of the images:
1. Barack Obama
2. Joe Biden
3. Hillary Clinton
4. Mark Warner
5. Michelle Obama
6. Cindy McCain
7. George W. Bush
8. Joe Lieberman
9. John McCain
10. Sarah Palin
