In the 2008 presidential primaries, 70.0% of the voters voted for someone other than Barack Obama. Does that scandize anyone? That's just the way it is (in the first round in any system) when there are lots of candidates.

Wow. What a mandate for leadership. 76% of the
voters select someone else as their first choice to be mayor and the candidate
with 24% gets the office. New take on old quote: it may not be the best form of
government, but we keep looking for ways to make it worse.
