VentureBeat: Lessig talks about running for Congress (maybe)

Lessig is such a poser. There are probably enough gullible college kids willing to campaign and vote for him.
Public financing of campaigns means The State controls who can run for office. No surprise a wannabe stalinist bureaucrat like Lessig supports it.

Peter, what a truly idiotic comment. Your reference to Stalin is pathetic. (Stalin, as you may recall, killed millions.)
If candidates relied only on public financing, many more people cwould be able to compete for public office. Moreover, they might just be judged on their merits, not their millions.
My question about Lessig is whether he has the political chops to campaign day after day in pursuit of this job. Running for Congress is not for the faint of heart.
