Monday, October 25th, 2010

In Toronto Canada, today is the last day to vote for the City of Toronto mayor, a race that is mainly between Rob Ford and George Smitherman.

Let’s have a look at the types of words and phrases the online community uses when they’re talking about each candidate in a positive way and in a negative way. [Larger fonts mean that the phrase is used more often.]

Based on the types of words that are most commonly used, who do YOU think will win this vote?
