It depends  

Again via 3quarksdaily, Sean Carroll has an interesting post about some middling poker hands and the odds of winning with any of them. For some reason (well, not just some reason; there's actually a pretty striking structural similarity if you're willing to think about the flop as "votes") it brough to mind the Arrow Theorem, which is worth trotting out now and again anyway, especially when I've just been critiquing democracy as a governmental system.

By the way, Sean's blog is apparently the fourth most popular blog on the internet written by a scientist, at least if we're to believe this article. Pretty cool.
