Dear Steve,

although "Donald is a turkey who almost never writes
anything of value," I have to agree with his criticism
of JITW. JITW is a catastrophy.

The problem with JITW is the fact that it gives the
last word to the candidates and not to the voters.
If JITW had been used there would have been
arrangements between candidates like: "I will withdraw
only if you make me your Vice and if you resign after
two years."

It is -to my opinion- also difficult to justify why
-if the voters have made additional rankings below
a given candidate- this candidate has the right to
decide whether these rankings are considered.
