I know Lessig is the more recognizable name on HN (and probably the Internet as a whole, but the article's co-author, Mark McKinnon, is far better known in political circles. He was a Bush and McCain campaign PR guy, who dropped his formal role in the McCain campaign (for a time at least) because he didn't want to campaign against Obama. Not making a value judgment necessarily, but it struck me at the time as a little unusual.
