If he were to run in the fall, he'd have to be on the dem. primary line in June- which isn't much more time than the special election, really. So this is almost certainly the end of this particular dream right now. I'm personally glad- Lessig is a hero of mine, but this was not the right time for him yet.

(BTW, acc. to Joe Trippi's twitter feed he was the pollster-type consulted.)

Stanford professor Larry Lessig just announced via a short video on his personal blog that he's reached a decision on whether or not to launch a campaign for the open seat in California's 12th congressional district. That decision? It's a no go, kids. Despite the cutting-edge online enthusiasm around his possible candidacy, Lessig opted out of the race for the most old-school of reasons: he decided that there was just no way he could win the thing in the time allotted.
