Elections

As the presidential primaries sweep across the country, the Democratic contest has narrowed to a tight race between two candidates: Hillary Clinton & Barak Obama. But what, really, is the difference between them? And why should we support one over the other?

Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Internet freedom crusader, has posted a 20 minute video discussing why he believes that Barak Obama is the right choice for president. He makes a sincere and solid argument for his position and is definitely worth a few minutes of your day. Since a large part of his reasoning centers around opposition to the Iraq war, none of the Republicans even enter into the discussion. But, if you aren’t sure which of the two Democratic candidates you support, take a listen.

Now, does anyone know of any similar videos from people supporting the other candidates? I’m still trying to figure out who I want to support this year.
