No Scuds, Many Studs   

Stars were most certainly born during the first Persian Gulf War. After the smoke cleared, folks might have forgotten the names of the Middle Eastern cities they saw on TV, but what stuck were the names of certain reporters stationed in them.

Who can't remember NBC's dashing Arthur Kent--the original "scud stud." Or CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Peter Arnett, scud studs of a different, more mature, stripe.

So come Gulf War Part Deux, stargazers were boundlessly eager to see who the crown would be passed to. As political scientist Larry Sabato told the Miami Herald, "It's a national parlor game."

Perhaps because so many people were on studwatch, we've got many suggestions but no clear winner. And the nominees are:

Jennifer Eccleston, Fox News
Richard Engel, ABC
Mike Kirsh, CBS
Christiane Amanpour, Kevin Sites and, yes, Walter Rodgers, CNN
Rob Morrison, NBC
Rageh Omaar, BBC
