First-time blogger here at TPM, so be gentle.
Matthew Yglesias links to <a href="http://goodspeedupdate.com/2008/2208">this post</a> in which Rob Goodspeed analyzes the word counts the candidates devote to discussions of issues on their respective websites as a way of gauging the relative importance of those issues to those candidates. Of course, quantity doesn't equal quality, but the charts make for interesting (and in some cases curious, given how the primary campaign has gone) reading.
