33. A few things

1) I think Lakoff has worked for a few individual Democratic campaigns and/or smaller groups

2) Democrats are not as good at following directions from "on high" - Republicans get their talking points and follow them religiously. When Dems try to do the same, there is always a Zell Miller, Joe Lieberman or Joe Manchin that disagrees.

2a) With big bucks supporters, Republicans like the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, the Walton family and (previously) Richard Mellon Scaife, are willing to give to RW Super PACS and causes and be mostly hands off as long as the cause is being advanced. Democratic big bucks supporters have generally tried to be more "hands on" and push left wing groups to support their pet causes. So, the Republican money people may be assholes, but they are willing to lose money and races in the short-term as long as they advance RW causes over the long haul. Democratic money people may be better people overall, but they're not as willing to lose money to advance the cause long-term or to let the political people do their thing.
