...Peer says her most powerful weapon is that she's "strong, mentally." Most likely, it won't be the Arab spectators in Qatar who test her mettle but a formidable tennis rival, the glamorous Russian Maria Sharapova. When the two dueled recently in Israel, Peer whipped up the home crowd, which hooted and ridiculed the Russian's habit of grunting loudly when she slams the ball. Seething, Sharapova buckled down and demolished Peer, winning 6-1, 6-1. Peer was later scolded by Israeli sports officials for inciting the crowd against Sharapova.

But abroad, by god, our government is there for us! It will fight for our life and liberty, smile a familiar smile in a foreign crowd, and be there with a hug and a cup of tea when it all goes wrong...
...take it personally. And Romney was like every other candidate in our field. The reason that we're in this mess is because not one of our candidates, from top to bottom, fully met or meets the three-legged stool of conservatism. You've got this foreign policy crowd, you've got the fiscal conservative-small government crowd and you've got the social and cultural crowd. We didn't have one candidate who wrapped them all up. As such, the conservative voter decided, O.K., this issue is more important to me - I'm going there. [And] this issue...
