...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.

In addition to this reliance on superdelegates, so much else is wrong with the current presidential nomination process: the tremendous cost that ties candidates’ fates to wealthy donors; the unbalanced calendar that...
