The Lessig Primary

I've been meaning to write some comment up about the "Lessig Primary", or obtaining Larry Lessig's endorsement. He's an opinion leader respected in many circles.

Well, I guess I won't have to. Lessig just announced that Howard Dean will be guest blogging for him next week while he's on vacation (Dean Nation story, Blog For America post, Slashdot story).

Dean's tech-savvy continues to impress me. Now, can the campaign use it to branch out to reach people who aren't online?

P.S.: I found this interesting. In the comments on Lessig's blog, Dave Winer writes: "Welcome, nice to see a presidential candidate who has something to say. And thanks to Lessig for beating the drum for citizen journalism." You can read this more than one way, but to me, it sounds like more blogger triumphalism to me. Winer thinks that only a candidate who blogs has "something to say"? Anyone who reads blogs knows that having a blog doesn't mean you have anything to say.
