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.

    It must be a beautiful day for all of us, Barack talked to world from Berlin, Germany and Mccain talked to some "friends" in a German restaurant in Colombus,Oh and life's good for all of us. SO I HEAR BUSH/MCCAIN WOULDNT LET BARACK VISIT THE BASE IN GERMANY? JUST HOW SCARED ARE THEY?

    Interesting story, but I wish they had included a comparison with how Kerry and Bush did among a similar demographic in 2004. Presumably Obama is doing better, but how much better? As I recall stories back then, many Americans living abroad were already pretty tired of Bush and the damage he had caused to America's reputation overseas.

    To Thomas T,

    Are you old enough to remember the mess that the Clintion administration was when Bill Clinton was in office?

    I am and I certainly remember what foreigners, especially Europeans, thought about the US during that administration, Clintion, his wanna be president wife Hillary and that admiinistration was a disaster!!

    And YES, I do know what I'm talking about as I spent at least 65% of my time in foreign countries during that Administration! How much time did you spend out of the USA during that period ???

    Thanks to Bill Clinton's priority in chasing skirts and Hillary's turning a blind eye to such events because of her own agenda of hopefully becoming the first female US President, Clinton failed to act on military intellegence regarding the exact location of Osama Bin Laden, our Special Operations Forces had Bin Laden cornered but was ORDERED not to eliminate the threat but rather to let him go!

    We're all much to aware of the results of 9/11 and subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because of this inaction!

    At least George W. Bush and McCain have the BALLS to do what's required to protect our country, both served honorably in our military services when called upon, unlike Bill Clinton who was a Rhodes scholar at the time, the only road he was seeking during those days was the road out of Dodge in order to avoid his responsibilities as a US Citizen!

    I hope that you and your family don't have to bury you're loved ones if Obama is elected due to his lack of action against Terrorists when needed!!!

    After all, regardless of his statements of being otherwise, Muslims would love to see him in our highest office! Think about what his policies could do for immigration???

    Terriorists only understand KILLING of INFIDELS as they refer to US!

    And yes, their sleeper cells are stationed around the world ready to strilke whenever, wherever as ordered! They might be living next door to you!

    Diplomacy rarely works when dealing with these groups, I challenge Obama and his supporters to prove me wrong!! I'd love to be proven wrong in this case!
