Hillary takes the wheel and drives this one ... all the way to 1600 in '16!

I have mentioned, more than once,  George Lakoff's frustration with Democrats for failing to own the framing of issues.  I know a lot of people think he is long-winded (yes, he rants),  and that a linguist has no business commenting on politics.  Actually, in European culture,  traditional linguistic analysis began with the ancient Greeks exactly because they had a democratic political system.  How did you think the candidates figured out which speeches worked best and why?

As I was perusing the newsfeeds, I noticed that articles about this decision are using the term "marriage equality."  This is the Democratic frame.  It would be easier for Republicans to argue against "gay marriage."  It is a lot harder for them to "come out" against equality.  :)

The Democrats own this one.  We finally won the framing contest!  George Lakoff, this Bud's for you!

Hillary takes the wheel and drives this one ... all the way to 1600 in '16.
