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.

They did indeed Barack. Now let's see if Obama can hold it together. This is exactly what the Democratic party needed to have happen here. Hillary needs to loose - concretely - this idea that she's invincible. Obama needs to be out in front, the party has to seriously vet him. Edwards needs something to chase. All in all, the Dems exit Iowa in a very good place.

The Republicans? Well they're going to have to solve this religion question pretty soon or they're in big trouble. Huckabee and Romney have violated - if nothing else - the 11th Commandment of Republican Politics. As the race for the nomination gets negative, the two of them are going to get more and more aggressive.

      Amen. I was pumped listening to that.

      I caught Hillary's on the way to work this morning. It sounded like it was being delivered by a vintage 2000 Al Gore Speech Delivery Drone.

      Either that or William Shattner but with less authenticity.
