Check out these numbers... [View All]

Sorry if this is common knowledge...:shrug:

I'm doing some research on rhetoric and I thought you guys might enjoy these numbers. I scanned two nightly "headliners" at both the republican and democrat conventions last year. Both conventions were four nights long, and they both had the "stars" speaking later in the night. So, I ended up looking at 8 speeches per convention.

Searching for the number of times certain keywords, and their variants (ex. 9/11 or september 11), were uttered, here's what I found:

Republican Convention:

Freedom 69
democracy 14
terrorist 41
9/11 - 38
_________

Democratic Convention:

Freedom 16
democracy 6
terrorist 9
9/11 - 12
