Subject: Have you seen who is thinking about running for congress? http://lessig08.org/ <http://lessig08.org/> Larry Lessig is an interesting teacher. He was at Harvard and is now at Stanford. He teaches law. He is thinking of running for congress. The website above contains a number of videos. The first explains why he is thinking of running. The second explains why he prefers Obams to Clinton. He presents an ethical and principled approach to politics. Refreshing.
