presidential word clouds 2010 (part 2)
March 19th, 2010
Debogorski’s platform is up on his website. Using the same methodology as for the other candidates, I created a word cloud. Like with Saulnier, I did not take the platform summary, I took only the platform.
His is the shortest of the three (1,055 words, just about twice as long as the summary). The same threat to accuracy applies here.
- “Union” is the most common word, followed by “dalhousie”, with “dsu” making a strong appearance
- A love of the number “three”
- Lots of action words: “collect”, “promise”, “create”, “run”, “work”, “development”, “increase”
- Several words related to student input: “issues”, “referendum”, “preferences”, “questions”, possibly “information”
- Words related to being the CEO of the DSU: possibly “government”, “council”, possibly “run”, possibly “decision”.
- “prd” is his acronym for a “polling, referendum, and debate” system to solicit student input, and is clearly a notable portion of the platform
