Cheney vs. Edwards: The big picture

The thumbnail on the left (click to enlarge) shows what Dick Cheney and John Edwards agree about according to the transcript of their debate as candidates for the vice-presidency. Technically, it is equivalent to Sigmund's analysis of the Bush vs. Kerry debate.

What I find interesting is that Sigmund actually picks up the fact that Cheney and Edwards discussed various subjects as exemplified by the sub-networks. The largest network is still created by the concept of force, and as with Bush and Kerry, the VP-candidates link terrorism and Iraq. The second largest network is about health care. According to Sigmund, who has a little cold, the American people further "have to pay taxes" and "billions for security".

It is a bit tedious to publish more thumbnails. I have to cut-and-paste the diagrams Sigmund draws, upload them, etc. A few things that surprised me browsing Sigmund's ramblings. The term "tax cut" draws an elaborate network for Edwards including terms like responsibility, poverty, job; for Cheney the network is empty. On the other hand Cheney's network for "significant progress" includes: education and Afghanistan, for Edwards it is empty.

I'd suggest you to use a photolog system for posting pictures. They simplify very much all the process. I'm using flickr that allows you to send the picture by e-mail and the tool does the rest (even re-publishing the picture + comment in your blog, if you want).
I believe typepad can also publish your pictures if you send them by mail.

Anjo,
I tested Flickr with Typepad, so let me know if you feel like giving it a try...
