Psh. If you listen to some Freepers, it's not just finding "someone who embodies ALL that we're looking for." It's about finding someone who's that, and has charisma, and is popular, and is "viable" (of course, that last part is very subjective).
Never mind the fact that elections should not be mere popularity contests but should be literally, hiring decisions for capable and competent leaders and managers.
