Despite everything, Egwene is still an Amrylin Seat. The Amyrlin represents all Ajahs (outside of the Tower) and none (inside the Tower). As such, in Tar Valon, she doesn't really have a power base. That's just how the Amyrlin Seat works. Look back at other Amrylins and you will see what I mean. Pitting factions against each other is hardly an original idea from Egwene. It's something Amyrlins have done for generations.
Egwene, a poor leader?

Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician.

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ...

Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM*

Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV

I don't think the case can be made for Rand having it easy

I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad.

I think comparing Egwene to McCain is asking for trouble on several fronts.
