Republicans normally pour the same amount of uncertainty into picking a presidential nominee that Buckingham Palace puts into its Changing of the Guard. That is, as little as possible. Republicans prefer to find a brand-name, big-state governor, surround him with the same right-thinking brains on taxes, foreign policy and the New Testament, back him with all the cash he will need to corner TV time in New Hampshire and then run the nominee through a quick gauntlet of primaries before anyone else has a chance at the prize.

Manning's work ethic is universally admired, and he makes everyone around him a better player...
...Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s recent push for Blackwater to leave before the six-month deadline—is a terrible contradiction to America’s supposed respect for the autonomy of the new Iraqi government. Of course, there are numerous issues that surround the exit of Blackwater USA, which holds a $1.2 billion contract with the U.S. government and supplies most of the 30,000 private security guards currently in Iraq. The State department has said repeatedly that other private contractors do not have the personnel, nor are military officers trained and in ample supply...
