The hope-and-change index


via Economist.com - "BARACK OBAMA is fond of hope and change. By one tally, he said “hope” nearly 450 times in speeches delivered on the campaign trail. (By contrast, his rival John McCain only used the word 175 times.)"

wonder if co-relation was causation in this case.. hmmm.

also, see the graph above, for most election years hope seems to do the trick but Clinton seems to have used change quite effectively. ;)
