Yeah but it was his leadership that resulted in the alliance, and thus getting to Earth while avoiding being slaughtered by Cylons.
I don't know about you, but I'd vote for him.

Dissy:
Slight SPOILERS ALERT:

Why the fuck did Lee back down?  Once he had Earth and the three Cylons, why the fuck did he back down?  "Uh, Deanna, I have Earth, and I have your three Cylons, you better give me back my peoople, or I will fuck these guys up, then kick the shit out of your shitty, beat up base star, and send you all to your maker."

These people killed almost your entire race.  They are your enemy, and you should bring them to your terms, nothing less.

schimmy:
Because the Cylons had their nukes ready to fire on ALL of the fleet? Because maybe a war that resulted in humanity's near-extinction isn't something that he was too eager to pursue to the end?
He couldn't really do anything. Having the three Cylons doesn't mean the fleet was invincible. If the humans fired upon the Cylons, the Cylons would have fired back. Sure, they wouldn't get Earth, but at least they'd survive.

Ozymandias:
I've never really considered provoking someone with nukes aimed at the last of your entire species to be a good idea, no.

Dissy:
Actually, I went back and rewatched the episode.  The fleet had their FTL Drives all wound up and ready to go.  Lee orders them to jump, and they all jump.  Then you can basically tell Deanna your demands.  Not much she can do, except fire the nukes at you, and you at them.
