Jungle primary gave us the 1991 gubernatorial runoff pair of David Duke vs Edwin Edwards.

Please explain how EITHER of these qualify as the best person from the primary?

Edwards would have won the Democrat closed primary but Duke would not have advanced out of a Republican closed primary. Buddy Roemer or Clyde Hollaway would have defeated Edwards. David Duke was the only path for the Edwards victory--There was a reason for the campaign slogan: "Elect the Crook, it's important"
