Deciphering Joe Trippi's Twitter stream: "Just landed in San Francisco to meet potential candidate for Congress" (about 4 hours ago) --> "Larry Lessig" (about 4 hours ago) --> "Tot" (about 4 hours ago). Is Trippi having a spot of rum, or slangily expressing his approval for a Lessig run? Twitter less cryptically, Joe! You left 137 characters on the table.

Also, one thing driving a possible Lessig for Congress campaign? "Government corruption" doesn't get asked to the dance all that often:

When I was doing free culture stuff, there were hundreds of fora every year where people wanted to talk about these issues. There are no industry conferences on political corruption, and I quickly realized this was going to be harder to talk about than I had expected.
