Incidentlally, since you claim because you cannot explain the precise meaning of a range vote of 64 versus 65, therefore range voting is somehow horribel and inexplicable... and you like DMC... I ask "explain to me the precise meaning of `I approve of Bush.'"
Pretty difficult, isn't it? And also probably strategy dependent - it depends who are Bush's opponents, in practice. All of this is quite analogous to range vote values. (Annoyance mission completed.) wds ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
