Lawrence Lessig Decides Against Congressional RunAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on February 26, 2008 - 1:37pm.
Palo Alto, Calif. - Stanford Law professor and Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig has decided against a run for Congress, after talking with a pollster who advised him his chances of winning would be slim, Wired.com reports. Lessig said last week on his website that he was considering a run for the seat vacated by the death of Rep. Tom Lantos earlier this month. The pollster told Lessig he would not likely be able to defeat veteran California politician Jackie Speier, who had already announced her intention to run for Lantos' seat -- and gotten Lantos' endorsement as well.
