Candidate Bios Avoid Words "God," "Religion," "Moral," "Progressive," & "Liberal"

Pew has released an analysis of the most frequently used words at the most popular sections of the presidential candidate Web sites, their candidate biographies. The findings are somewhat surprising, in that candidates overwhelmingly avoid discussing God, religion, or morality. Far less surprising is that the Dems avoid labeling themselves as liberals or progressives.

Clear winners for all the candidates appear to be the unifying focus on children, family, and country. Isn't that Apple Pie?
