A variation on least additional votes:

Let f(A) be the fewest number of additional ballots (by friends of A) that 
can turn A into the CW.

Let g(A) be the fewest number of additional ballots (by opponents of A) 
that can turn A into the Condorcet Loser.

In other words g(A) is the same as the reverse ballot version of f(A).


When there is no CW, elect the candidate X with the largest value of 
the quantity  g(X)/f(X).
