George P. Lakoff is a professor of linguistics (in particular, cognitive linguistics) at the University of California, Berkeley where he has taught since 1972. Although some of his research involves questions traditionally pursued by linguists, such as the conditions under which a certain linguistic construction is grammatically viable, he is most famous for his ideas about the centrality of metaphor to human thinking and society. He is particularly famous for his concept of the "embodied mind". In recent years he has applied his work to the realm of politics, and founded a progressive think tank, the Rockridge Institute.

Look at Amy Boardman Hunt's bio from the DBA piece.
-Amy Boardman Hunt is a legal media consultant for Androvett Legal Media and Marketing and co-chair of the DBA Media Relations Committee. Previously, she was a reporter for Texas Lawyer newspaper and its Washington, D.C., affiliate, Legal Times.-
She certainly has the means to be in contact with Dems...even in D.C.
Looks more and more like Townsel is a lib who may have gotten some marching orders from the Dems.
