It would make the nomination processs a lot more helpful for the wiki, so it isn't really a popularity contest. If people have a better reason a lot more people who can actually do the job would get it, It would also be a better idea (lets say if more moderators support one person) They'd recieve a higher chance of getting the position, as obviously the moderators know what they are doing.
