Some extracts:

- most used word by Obama - "promise" (31 times) and by McCain - "country" (30 times)

- Under issues, Obama's top word "economy" and McCain "jobs"

- Two-word phrase used most by Obama was "John McCain" (15 times

Heh. Obama mentions McCain very often and McCain mentions Obama very often. They might as well give speeches for each other!
