So, the biggest day for primaries coincides with Mardi Gras. I guess this has happened before, but I just like saying “Super Fat Tuesday”.<\/p>\n
I’m obviously for Obama. I think he’ll do well enough to keep in the race today. I posted the letter from GYWO’s David Rees yesterday. I’ve got several video links today, so you don’t even have to do much reading.<\/p>\n
The Will.i.am, celebrity-studded, Yes We Can video<\/a> – this is adapted from Obama’s New Hampshire Primary speech<\/p>\n Lawrence Lessig’s 20 minutes on why he’s for Obama<\/a> and not Clinton. Lessing is a Stanford law professor and is very tech savvy with an amazing record on copyright. He’s also got a personal story that I’ve always connected with, so I give his opinion a lot of weight. I think the first 3\/4 is right on. I do think Lessig overstates the impact of Obama’s election on peace at the end of the video.<\/p>\n Here’s the Lorna Brett Howard video<\/a> referred to by Lessig’s video on why she switched from Clinton to Obama.<\/p>\n And if you’re not reading Robert Reich’s blog<\/a>, you should start.<\/p>\n Ok, one more that I forgot, Questlove from The Roots reminds us of some things<\/a> that we shouldn’t forget.<\/p>\n [tags]obama, clinton, lessig, yeswecan, lornabretthoward, switch, videos, election, primaries, democrats, questlove[\/tags]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, the biggest day for primaries coincides with Mardi Gras.
