Wisdom of the crowds

In Today's Wall Street Journal the new President of Honduras lays out the details of recent events. The fact that the former President, Mr. Zelaya, is a scum bag is pretty clear. What should alarm everyone is that this guy was elected into office (so was Hitler but I digress). There was no chicanery, no deceit, only unfaithful promises made by all seasoned politicians. When the rationale for government control is the ineptitude of the governed, why should that ineptitude be trusted to elect the governers?
