Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

He said the former first lady had adopted an attitude of, "We're going to throw whatever we want at Barack, whether it's true, whether it's false, whether it's exaggerated, whether it's relevant, because that's, according to Senator Clinton, what the Republicans will do."

Obama has never been about issues and never will, its not what he is running on. He is running on his race,audacity,hope, and promise. In no particular order. The problem is the vague descriptions he gives of his plans for doing anything for any of the four. My guess we will see change though, in promise. =)

Of course they're doing negative campaigning. It's politics for God's sake! Why can the two candidates and their supporters not seem to understand that politics is and always will be a nasty business.

By the way, the title made me laugh hysterically OK

Just as I see it lately, just saying that your opponent is conducting a negative campaign is negative, your damned if you don't and damned if you do.

I can't wait till we have a quantified Democratic Candidate and they can be Negative against McCranky all they want. What fun...
