The politics of filling the EU's top jobs

Is the new "Mr. Europe" - the President of the European Council - to be Tony Blair, the perma-tanned political jet-setter with half a dozen jobs already or Herman van Rompuy, a poetry-writing Belgian who would barely be recognized in his local supermarket?

Could it be the 71-year-old "VVF", as Latvia's two-time President Vaira Vita-Freiberga is known, a battler who insists that those who call her a "token woman" should "wash their mouths out with soap". Maybe Europe's leaders will opt for Jan Peter Balkenende, who as Prime Minister of the Netherlands when its citizens were asked to back the new EU constitution creating the President's job couldn't even persuade them to do so?
