I don't disagree.
Looking at the remaining mod makeup, Addy is a moderate (leans left and right but maybe more left), Polwatch is the same, leans both ways but maybe more left although she's not very active lately for good reasons, Ravens Fan is strong right, Chris is right leaning but more libertarian/independent leaning. Did I miss someone? I don't think so.
So to offset Ravens Fan I'd say the next mod should be left leaning.
Looking at the available VIP's, I would nominate (if it was worth the bandwidth typed on) would be either @Common Sense or @nic34 .
Common Sense would be the better of the two IMO because he's here more often. @Hal Jordan would make a great mod if he were here more often, and he's here late but he's kind of moderate.
I'm excluding the members who have been mods too btw.
