She's a pompous ass, but Elayne *is* siding with her.

Not to mention the assumptions that Rand's people would all listen to her instead of him. Did she REALLY think she was going to sway people who need him for their people to survive the Last Battle and the mother of his children? Of course the idea of Nynaeve screwing up that bad is ludicrous, but that doesn't mean Egwene isn't going to try.
She assumes her friends will support her, and goes and picks the two friends who by all appearances are closer to Rand than to her. Nynaeve has been spurning Egwene for Rand for months now, and unless the parallels with Siuan & Moiraine are closer than we know, Egwene & Elayne's relationship does not encompass bumping uglies, which does tend to affect which side a person comes down on.

Nyn and Perrin (along with Perrin's followers) seem to be the only ones siding with Rand, no matter what Egwene says. I was proud of both of them, and despite Nyn acting like a wuss around Ms. Bighead, I don't see her bending about Rand. She gave her word and she will follow through. Oddly, I believe Cadsuane is siding with him as well.
Just finished Chapter 11.

Yes. Cadsuane may have been foolish, but she's not a complete fool.

The "Can't you see I'm being sarcastic/exaggerating to make a point" defense/excuse is getting old.

Its a lot fresher and less irritating than the way you convert almost everything to an Egwene debate
