By Stanley Fish


Fish never ceases to be original. But with Obama is much more than passive; it's a quite active framing that puts McCain constantly on the defensive.

That was a fun article, Mary, even if the right will leap on it as another Messiah metaphor.

He just stands there looking languid

His secret is that he just LOOKS languid. His campaign has been anything but. Obama is one of those people who makes it look easy, but I bet he has worked very very hard. I am married to one of those types. They never appear stressed or anxious- they make it look simple, but their brains are always at work. Maybe that's why I am able to feel good about my vote. transference. Hope I'm right.
