Tapas, smaller bytes

I keep finding small tidbits about and through this election that I want to share.  These are some of the smaller bytes from the Cache o' the Day.

1) I love this so much!  It's an interactive feature from the NY Times where you can see which words where used most during each of the two national conventions.  Click on one of the bubble, scroll down and enjoy the excerpt, or just admire the color percentages.  No matter how you look at it, you have to love when images do the work for you.


2) This video is from CNN's Reliable Sources.  It's a conversation with Bob Woodward about the Romney video.  He coins the phrase "the daily food fight" and I think that is remarkably smart.

3) Here's the highlight reel of Governor Romney's Daily Food Fight.  It's from the LA Times, so we know it is a pretty left leaning source.  I put it here, not to further bash a bruised campaign, but to highlight this idea that Mr. Woodward examines in the above video.  Maybe the media has become overly concerned with the idiocy that would come from following anyone 24/7.
