Lakoff hits it out of the parkWednesday, March 05, 2008 by Dave Winer. I thought today would be a great day to interview UC-Berkeley professor George Lakoff on the Democratic campaign, who should have done what, and how his candidate (and mine) Barack Obama should proceed in the race with Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Here's the 25-minute interview in an MP3. http://sundaygang.com/lakoff/lakoff050308.mp3 I think he hit it out of the park and I hope this makes its way into the Obama campaign. It's got so much more substance than the typical talking head stuff on CNN and MSNBC. Update: Cross-posted at Huffington. |
