Whoever becomes a new global moderator, he would without doubt more favor his proponents than opponents if it ever comes to taking a moderator decision regarding them.
I'd argue that someone who can not remain objective despite of those *proponents/opponents* should not be a global moderator in the first place
Let's not be hypocrites
We all know that this is not the case. If it were so, there wouldn't be this whole shebang with electing a new global moderator in the first place. It is perfectly clear that these elections are intended to give more weight to whoever gets elected in the eyes of theymos. Apart from that, it is normal and human to like somebody more than somebody else, for whatever reason. Otherwise, there shouldn't be a point in the forum rules saying that moderators are allowed to interpret these very rules as they feel appropriate
