How do you think we got our so-called "general popularity"? People like us. And why do they like us? They agree with us. I think the fact that I got, what was it, 26 supports and like two oppositions reflects that: the community in general is on a whole agreeable with my opinions and ideas. The same for the rest of the committee. This was not about popularity, this was about choosing who was the best.

And no, I don't think there was "no way"... certainly you COULD have been chosen, but you weren't. :P
