Lakoff rhymes with jackoff for a reason. This is a sideshow that diverts us from our real problem: lack of fairness in the media.

Essentially, Kerry tried to employ the power of storytelling in our last convention. It got us NOWHERE, and diverted potential converts from the bread and butter issues. If the political war is going to be played that way, the GOP win every time because of their ownership of the press. THEIR myth will be communicated and our story will be automatically distorted and mocked. How Kerry's honorable past was portrayed is case in point.

Avoid the style over substance critters at all cost. The secret to winning elections is KISS. Get a handful of solid progressive and populist issues, and keep hammering away at them. Rule 1: don't deviate from the message with fairytales.
