What do you all think of it?

It's where you rank candidates based on preference. Here's an example of my prefs for '04:

1st - Michael Badnarik / Richard Campagna (Libert)
2nd - George Bush / Dick Cheney (Rep)
3rd - John Kerry / John Edwards (Dem)
4rd - Ralph Nader / Miguel Camejo (Indep)

1st place would get the most points, 2nd place the 2nd most, etc

I prefer instant-runoff voting over the Borda count. Also, Nader's runnig mate was Camejo, not Cobb.
