Last week, Pollster.com posted tag clouds created by Janet Harris that showed the most commonly-used words each candidate used during the Democratic debates. It was a playful exercise that shed some light on the interior workings of the candidates. Now it's the Republicans' turn.

Harris is back with a tag clouds for the Republicans.

Pollster offers some good observations about the word choices:

You can clearly see areas of emphasis for some candidates: New York for Rudy Giuliani (the program filtered out "New"), the border fence for Duncan Hunter, jobs and faith for Mike Huckabee, and for John McCain, references to president and Iraq, Iran, war, weapons and security.

Mitt Romney, like John Edwards last week, shows clear emphasis of simple language and man-of-the-people rhetoric: America(n), values, nation, church, faith.

Contrast Romney to the cloud of negativity from Ron Paul: bad, critical, fight, interfere, ought, poor, rid, secrecy, war.

Abortion was most prominent for Romney and Giuliani (as well as "pro-choice" for Romney), that is probably a function of those candidates being asked about that issue more than the others.

I'll try to get a cloud for Chris Matthews soon.
