Attack Themes and Trending in the Blogosphere

This chart at left shows the frequency of the mentions of "Socialist + Obama", "Reverend Wright", and "Williams Ayers" or "Bill Ayers" in blogposts over the past 2 months. You can tell when the memo stressing the key talking points went out on pasting Obama with the Bill Ayers attack in the blogosphere.

Noticeably, the commentary on Reverend Wright showed a modest spike at the beginning of the month of October, but my guess is that since that was not a successful line of attack with Hillary, the McCain camp as laid off that commentary as well.

And finally, it would appear that the "Obama as Socialist" commentary is not hitting the desired strided either.
