Kevin,
MMPO sounds interesting -- even though it fails the Condorcet criterion.
I note that it selects the candidate with the minimum of the maximum
pairwise votes against. Just out of curiousity, have you (or anyone
else, as far as you know) considered the converse, selecting the
candidate with the maximum of the minimum pairwise votes in favor?
Here's another idea. Start by selecting two candidates: the one with the
minimum of the maximum pairwise votes against, and the one with the
maximum of the minimum pairwise votes in favor. Then choose the winner
of the pairwise contest between these two.
I have no idea if this idea is original or if it has any merit. For
those of you in Rio Linda, that means I'm *NOT* claiming originality or
value.

No claims here either.
