The Body Politic & Larry Lessig

According to the WSJ, Larry Lessig, Stanford Law School Professor of Law and Executive Director of the Center for Internet and Society, may run for an open congressional seat in the San Francisco area.

Larry's candidacy could make the political process more accessible to voters via his blogs and speeches but he'd have to dumb it down significantly. His slideware consists of just one word which he then verbally expounds upon. His style is great for the technorati but not necessarily effective communications for the masses.

I think his presentation style actually would be easily consumed by the general populous. Steve Jobs is incredibly popular with his presentation style which isn't far away from Larry. There's a site that I read occasionally about that presentation style called presentationzen.com
