for good or ill, a defining feature of democracy is that whoever gets the most votes wins, unless you are *, of course. The candidates they've picked are probably the most popular choices, and I don't see the matchups as being unfair.

As a woman, I could point out that while we are more than half the voting population, CNN has put all the women in one bracket, i.e., they are 25% of the candidates, a gross underrepresentation, and forced to "compete" against each other. But I understand why they did it that way.
