i am of the latter persuasion.  whenever someone other than the Condorcet winner is elected (assuming there is a CW), then we've elected someone where the voters have marked their ballots that they prefer someone
else.  this is what happened in Burlington Vermont in 2009.
> Neither of these concepts have any use for ratings or "score" ballots.
yup.  Score ballots require tactical voting from voters.  How high should we score our second choice?  Too high and we
help our second choice beat the first choice.  Not high enough and we help our third choice beat our second choice.  What to do, what to do?

yup.  bad idea.

yup.  not good.
