...Obama campaign says it isn't worried. "We've tried to pace this thing the right way and keep our blinders on," says Axelrod, fully embracing the hoary horse-race metaphor. "We're pursuing a strategy that aims at doing well in Iowa and going on from there." And lately Obama seems to have shifted into a different gear, one that suggests some urgency to gain ground. His debate performances have gotten sharper. He has a new, edgier stump speech that pounds harder at his theme of change and attempts to paint Clinton as what his strategists call a quasi...

The track is so good that I might even buy it. Grade: A 50 Cent – “I Get Money?...
...prices, hit up Spice, 9 Tastes, or Lê’s for a quieter, better seasoned noodle encounter. But Wagamama certainly puts the “fast” back in “fast food”: if you keep up with the waitress’s pace, order when she insists, scarf down your food, and pay immediately, you’ll be in and out in 15 minutes, which almost beats McDonald?...
