Blogger Digby has been complaining about Lakoff's formulation: that the Dems are the nurturing mommy party and the Repubs are the tough Daddy party. Politically, obviously that's a loser. Digby proposes Elliot Spitzer as a countermodel: that the Dems are the party of grown up sobriety and the Repubs are errant children who take risks but also cheat and fail if grown ups aren't around to protect them to remind them of the rules, and reality.
