Let’s see on Lessig:

Principles: At the time we knew Hillary had none, operating purely on expedience, and there wasn’t enough evidence to know whether Obama had any. Lessig basically just had naive hope.

Integrity: We know Hillary uses the same attack dog squad as her husband, and in the primary Obama ran a relatively clean campaign.

Change: Hillary was more of the same, Obama promised change.

Of course that’s what Obama presented of himself at the time. Basically, Lessig got suckered like millions of other wide-eyed idealists. I wonder what he’s thinking about this now. He’s not letting it reflect in his blog.
