Even after earning three Harvard degrees, Strauss never stopped being a student as he thought up sharp lyrics and catchy tunes for the Capitol Steps...
...Added another adviser: "You're going to see some very sharp media now." That suggests the next round of Clinton ads will go beyond the previous gentle references to Obama's lack of experience and begin to look at, for instance, inconsistency in his voting record.
