Links: Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Larry Lessig
Posted by Tara Swaminatha on Monday, July 14 @ 11:59:13 EDT News
Democratic Presidential candidate Howard Dean will be guest blogging for Larry Lessig for one week starting today. Lessig believes this is the first time a presidential candidate has been a guest blogger. He also cautioned that although he doesn't censor "abusive" comments directed to him, this is not his policy for guests. He writes, "[s]o trolls, save your abuse for my return."

Bloggers responding to this news thought at first it might indicate that Dean supports Lessig's views on copyright refrom. Lessig replied, "Dean’s guest blogging says nothing about Dean’s views about the issues I've been pushing here. I've never discussed these issues with any member of the Dean campaign."

Bloggers are wondering (1) how candidates' positions on tech issues (specifically copyright, P2P etc.) will affect the election, especially for citizens who were too young to vote in the last election, and (2) whether one of Dean's staffers will, in fact, be writing the blogs.

Just in case anyone hasn't taken a look at Howard Dean, I would encourage them to do so.

Personally, I am voting for him because he represents a mix of being socially progressive and fiscally conservative. As a democrat, I hate the criticism that he will be unable to win, so I should vote for yet one more bible-quoting southern Democrat. Well personally, I am tired of voting for a statistically annointed winner and this time I am going with someone who's views are at least close to mine, win or lose.

Check him out if you haven't already.
