FaultLine, you might be interested in knowing that Lakoff figures prominently in The Atlantic's lead piece in the July/August issue, When George Meets John, which deals with their debating skills and styles. He makes a few very perceptive comments, including a few on how smart and clever a debater W really is. He cleaned Ann Richards' clock during the Governor's election in Texas despite the fact that she was believed to be a lot smarter, quicker, wittier, etc., than him. Kerry is a consummate pro, having been involved in formal debates since he was a pup at St. Paul's. I don't think Kerry will be able to shake his cool patina. If he sheds it, his lack of sincerity will be palpable. You can't fake the qualities necessary to appeal to NASCAR dads, though you can fool a few soccer moms. You'll have to pay for the privilege of reading the article since it is not online. It's worth the price of admission because there are a lot of other very good pieces in the issue.
