I would rather run on consensus.
Any idea has to be acceptable to the majority here.

While I have no objections to this suggestion, the practical problem is the 
lack of transparency. There is no one to audit if I have:
1) Counted all the points correctly
2) advertently not included some entries.
 
 
It is for this reason that I want to put all the nominated posts up for voting.
Everyone can see that the post they nominated is up for voting and all can 
vote accordingly. I am assuming here that the number of votes will be 
tallied electronically.
 
 
Lastly, I have no problems modifying this method in the future.
 
 
For now folks, keep those nominations rolling in.
