Lessig Ends Presidential Campaign

I'm not sure Lessig expected anything different to come out of this. Sometimes people run to draw attention to some ideas, rather than because they think they have a realistic chance.

In other words, Lessig didn't need to win in order to win. (Whether he actually won, in the second sense, is a different question...)

I get what you're saying but, is that really the case? Did he "win"? Most people around the debate didn't even know there were more than 2-3 candidates; if you tell them about Lessig they'll ask you if that's a country or a city.

I didn't say he "won". I said that he was trying to "win" rather than trying to win. I questioned whether he "won".
