Or we could just vote out Gil-Galad and annoy both of you...
But I think that who I'd really rather go for is Isildur. As phantom has pointed out, none of the Elendili have been voted out yet, so perhaps it is time for one of them to go. So let's look at Isildur. He basically stands around while Elendil and Gil-Galad basically wipe out and are wiped out by Sauron (talk about filial love...). Then, now that Sauron is all but defeated, in come Isildur and takes away Sauron's ring, giving the final blow to Sauron but not really the most valiant one. And, whammy, it sure doesn't take long for his will to get overthrown by the Ring. Then, at the Gladden Fields, he puts on the Ring and deserts his troops - valiant King Isildur, huh? And he dies as a coward, running from the battle.
But he's a king, you might say, and that merits some level of respect or coolness. But king by what right? By that of birth? So if he was born a complete and utter idiot, he would still be king? Birth takes nothing into account of capability, and at the end of his life, Isildur seems to be pretty well losing it. Let's face it. The guy starts out pretty cool but it's all down hill from the departure of Numenor...
++Isildur
