Here's another idea. Start by selecting two candidates: the one with the 
minimum of the maximum pairwise votes against, and the one with the 
maximum of the minimum pairwise votes in favor. Then choose the winner 
of the pairwise contest between these two.

I have no idea if this idea is original or if it has any merit. For 
those of you in Rio Linda, that means I'm *NOT* claiming originality or 
value.

Here's yet another idea. Start by selecting two candidates: the one with 
the minimum of the minimum pairwise votes against, and the one with the 
maximum of the maximum pairwise votes in favor. Then choose the winner 
of the pairwise contest between these two.

No claims here either.
