George Lakoff on why Obama is going to win

I saw a fascinating talk by George Lakoff yesterday, on why he thinks Barack Obama is going to win the Presidential race. Obama talks in ways people think, he said, while Hillary Clinton and much of the Democratic establishment not only don't, but don't understand that they're doing anything wrong. Obama talks in terms of ideology, and then brings up issues to fit the ideology. Clinton talks about issues, and then tries to make the ideology fit the issues.

Here is Lakoff's Huffington Post article on the topic. Like the talk, it's interesting reading.

Many thanks to Sylvia Paull for organizing yesterday's session
