The conventions: words they used

This, from the NYTimes, is a breakout on the words that speakers used at the respective conventions.

Republicans overwhelmingly touched on taxes and business, while Democrats hit upon change, energy and health care.

While the frequency of just a single word may not indicate much, it does show the areas that the respective parties may focus upon as we head to November. Also, certain words are dropped along the way to ignite a little passion in each party.

Like this, on disasters: While Democrats mentioned Hurricane once, Republicans said Sept. 11 twice. What about those words might galvanize one party against the other?
