[EM] Favoring a frontrunner

[Dave Ketchum]

Favored frontrunner?  Trying to add some thought.

Agreed to "first rate a favorite and the worst".

Then the standard thought is "the voter rates the frontrunners".

This needs careful thought.  It is likely that one of the frontruners will 
win.  This voter has two obvious approaches to select from:
      IF this voter has a preference, proceed as Abd and others suggest.
      BUT if this voter sees them as equally desirable or undesirable, it 
is proper to treat them as such.
