But Gingrich will face continued questioning about his behavior that won't be so easy to dodge with media-baiting. The sooner GOP voters take the character questions seriously, the better.

The School Board feels its way with its more independent-minded members, hoping to present a more solid picture to candidates for the hot seat. The argument over board protocol seems arcane, but much is riding on it.

Mitt Romney has been known to change positions. His father was a man of steady convictions, something the younger Romney has taken as a lesson in how to lose a presidential campaign.

Psychiatrist Nassir Ghaemi explains why a mentally ill president may be just what we need, and how mania and depression have driven the triumphs and the tragedies of Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, JFK, MLK, and, maybe, Newt Gingrich.

In Seattle, a populist mayor suffered through unpopularity, the school system looped back through a new round of crisis, the police ran into more troubles apparently caused by a few officers, and the state's congressional delegation grew in power just as the entire system turned dysfunctional. Any answers out there?

True voter turnout figures calculated by a noted authority show that in 2010, Washington trailed only one other state. Is it a vote-by-mail benefit?
