Just saying....

“Referring to yourself in the third person creates distance between “I” and “he.” So if you have an exaggerated view of how great you are, you could be using this distance to make yourself even bigger. Or, if you’ve achieved major success suddenly, using the third person could be a way to adjust to the bigger role that’s been assigned to you. It’s a way to enlarge yourself to fit that role.”

Esquire? You went to a gay men’s fashion site for psychological information to slag Cain with? And you wonder why people think Perry’s glee club is less than honest?

One can also say that it’s simply a manner of speech and that sometimes, Bill Clinton excepted, a cigar is just a cigar.

And BTW, Cain’s still leading.

That's OK, reportedly Obaama uses sound effects including some reverb to make his voice sound deeper and more resonant.

And don't forget those Greek temple columns (which are probably mouldering in some Hollywood warehouse by now).

Cheers!
