Interesting Video By Lawrence Lessig

Here, Mr. Lessig makes a YouTube case for why he supports Barack Obama (It's twenty minutes long, so you may need to schedule time for it).

I think I'm going to vote for Obama myself, and I felt pretty clear about that before I saw the video, so this may not be as convincing to you, or convincing at all. I'm not as hard on Hillary Clinton as Mr. Lessig is, and I'm not as informed about her campaign tactics as he seems to be. I'm not sure if he's taking any of her statements out of context, for example - I might be relying on him maybe a little too much to interpret the past year or so.

Personally, I think Hillary could make a good president, and I'd be fine with her winning the Democratic nomination and the election. But personally, I favor Barack Obama because I think Hillary is very divisive and polarizing - no one's on the fence about her. I worry that she'll bring so much baggage with her into an administration, that it'll be hard for her to do much more than constantly struggle against her opponents' resistance.

I'm not going to prattle on about this - I tried that four years ago, and all it probably did was irritate people. But I do think this is an eloquent, well-reasoned case, so I thought I'd post it.
