The other half is a shiny new branch of the Chipotle chain. They were giving out free burritos at their official opening yesterday. When I rode by at about 6, the line was out-the-door and down to the corner by the Store24.
I'm torn about a big national chain spun off from McDonald's no less down the street from local folks BoLoCo (Boston Local Company). But, at least Chipotle sponsors a cycling team.

As Brian Mooney wrote in December, Giuliani didn't bypass New Hampshire. He took a conventional approach to New Hampshire - ads, mailings, events - until his early lead in the state disappeared and he sank in the polls.
Ironically, Mooney himself gave the same wrong impression in his article on Giuliani last week, writing:
Giuliani built this box for himself with his highly unorthodox strategy of finessing six earlier states and loading up for bigger, delegate-laden states, starting with Florida[.]
I don't see how campaigning vigorously until quitting is exactly "finessing."

Guys, the economic fortunes of the country under a President McCain will be little affected by his contradictory statement about his knowledge of economics. What will matter is whether he actually is ignorant. Or whether the policies he enumerates — like lower taxes equals more revenue — are contradicted by good sense or actual data.
Of course, catching McCain on the real goods would require actual analysis and hard work.

MOST CAMPAIGNS' [sic] are fought over issues. But this Democratic presidential campaign has been focused on something a good deal less concrete: professed governing styles.
He's right that the key factor is now governing style and the analysis that follows is sound, if not particularly insightful.
But, the reason it comes down to personality is, in part, because there's been an unprecedented focus on issues, particularly healthcare, energy, and Iraq. And, there just isn't much difference among the three major candidates -- Clinton, Edwards, and Obama. So, policy can't be a distinguishing factor.
There's a big difference between choosing among personalities because that's all the candidates have given you and choosing among personalities because their thorough discussion of issues has left little to distinguish them.
Lehigh does the candidates and his readers an injustice to suggest that the candidates have not focused on the issues. They have.
