best man, the

best man, the
полит
"достойнейший"
Лицо, избранное партийным съездом [convention] в качестве претендента на выборный пост, обычно пост президента страны. Возможно, выражение заимствовано из бокса, когда рефери заканчивает свое обращение к боксерам словами "... и пусть победит достойнейший" = ["and may the best man win"]. Так называлась и одна из пьес Г. Видала [Vidal, Gore] ["The Best Man"] (1960), рассказывающая о механизме президентских выборов.
