If you’re living in a state where you’re eligible to vote in the Democratic primary, and you haven’t quite made up your mind—maybe the candidates seem too close for it to really matter, or maybe you’ve picked a side sort of by default—please take about 20 minutes and watch this presentation by Larry Lessig, Stanford law professor (and, incidentally, such a gifted public speaker that he’s essentially defined an entire presentation style). It’s tremendously powerful, and worth spending the time on, regardless of which side you end up coming down on.

    Brilliant, in style as much as content. I’m going to recommend this around.

    I do have to complain a bit about the sheep thievery, though…

    I really wish people would stop making me like both candidates less….

  3. dsandler says:

    Uh, sorry?

  4. temple says:

    It reminds me of the things I don’t like about HRC, while at the same time reminding me Obama is all about fluff.

  5. dsandler says:

    I’m sorry. I miss Edwards too.

  6. Jeremy Templeton says:

    lol. Actually, I managed to curse every candidate I liked. Within a week of picking one, he would be gone. I long for the days of Vilsack.

  7. Jeremy Templeton says:

    Bob Herbert put it well in today’s Times:

    “We’re excited more by who they are than by what they’ve promised to do.”

    This is never a good sign in my mind.

    On the other hand, a candidate’s identity is not easily shed, while promises often fall by the wayside on day 2.
