In the section that alleges that Kuster dodged a question about Libya during a Q&A about the Middle East, I am removing the claim that U.S. policy has considered Libya part of the Middle East consistently since 1957. That claim is not supported by the citation. Because there are multiple detailed reasons why this claim is unsupported and because there might opposition to this edit, I wanted to give a detailed explanation in the Talk page. I should note that the link only leads to first page of the article. The rest of the article at JSTOR is behind a pay wall. However, the whole article can be found at the website for the source, Foreign Affairs magazine, here: http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/71575/roderic-h-davison/where-is-the-middle-east . First, the whole point of this article titled "Where is the Middle East?" is that the Middle East has been defined inconsistently, even within the U.S. government. The claim that Libya has been part of some sort of controlling official government definition of the U.S. government is based on the fact that Secretary of State Dulles included Libya when asked what "Middle East" meant in 1957. But in step with article's POV that the definition is hard to nail, it immediately after notes that State Department officials in 1958 excluded Libya from their definition of the Middle East. The article goes on to mention several other definitions of the Middle East, many of which exclude Libya. Second, I don't think it's accurate to label an officials description of an area to be a policy. Third, the cited article was published in 1960. Obviously, it's silent as to how U.S. officials have defined the term Middle East from 1961 to present. --JamesAM (talk) 23:42, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Early Life and Education section is confusing. It discusses events in the 1980s before her education, in the 70s, and it is not clear when it is discussing the subject's mother and when it is discussing the subject. With both in play, "she" becomes ambiguous.

Ann McLane Kuster → Annie Kuster – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCP, most sources, and indeed her own campaign materials refer to her as "Annie Kuster", not "Ann McLane Kuster". Her House website does list her name as "Ann McLane Kuster", and some sources use "Ann Kuster", but it seems that most use the more familiar "Annie Kuster" is the most widely used in reliable secondary sources.
