What I see:
.. Condorcet - without mixing in Approval.
. SODA - for trying, but seems too complex.
. Reject Approval - too weak to compete.

(What happened to that idea of finding a compromise method that
everybody on EM could support? Did the idea get sidetracked by SODA?)
More or less. My impression was that we had agreed that a statement
should explain and support no more than two simple methods, and
mention as good a broad range - as many as could get broad
acceptance. For the simple methods, it seemed that people were
leaning towards (Condorcet//Approval or Minimax/WV) plus (Approval
or SODA). For the "generally agreed as improvements", I think we
could get consensus that the aforementioned ones plus MJ, Range, and
a catch-all "condorcet methods" (since in practice they are unlikely
to differ), would all be improvements over plurality.
So, I guess the question is: is there anyone who would support
Approval but not SODA? Respond in text. Also, I made a poll on
betterpolls - go vote. http://betterpolls.com/v/1425
