Obama v. McCain: Top 10 Campaign Stops

The NYT has a great interactive graphic that shows where the candidates have made appearances since April 2007. The Times defines appearances as speeches, fundraisers, meet and greets, debates, press avails, private events, and assorted other events. The two charts below show the ten cities each candidate has visited most frequently since they started campaigning last spring.

(The Protocol will be delivering more analysis of this data in the coming days...stay tuned.)
