jaina for warchief.
We'd get an absurd, unneeded, unqualified fan service character as Warchief, like Lor'themar.
She would be totally wasted as Warchief, and is the Horde leader most loyal and tied to her own ends and her own sub-faction. Baine, Vol'Jin, Thrall, and even Lor'themar have all be significantly more involved in either or all of the Horde's creation, Garrosh's rise to power and eventual overthrow, and the redistribution of Horde power than Sylvanas. She simply doesn't make sense as an option, outside of "she's popular because she has a big rack so obviously they'd include her," as if Blizzard doesn't care about the story at all. Blizzard clearly has a direction, and Sylvanas is clearly not part of the "new Warchief" story.
I think the idea of an election is possible, but it's probably best to experiment with a less important position first and it's much to late to implement it for Horde Warchief (since that's due to be revealed next week). Maybe they could have the Gnomes and Goblins elect new leaders.
I definitely agree with Daetur that Blizzard would have to limit it to 2-3 reasonable choices. Otherwise it would just be chaos.
Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.
She definitely would not be a choice. Forsaken are too much of a splinter group/wildcard to have the reins of the Horde handed to them. On top of their shifty behaviors Sylvannas would use the Horde machine to further the end of the Forsaken with little regard to the others of the Horde; and seeing as that just happened with Garrosh, I doubt the other Horde leaders (aka Blizz's writing) would let that happen again.
i would vote for hogger
I vote for Woodcutting...
Either that or Gamon.
But seriously though, it wouldn't work too well, lack of choices will cause people to scream and yell for more, too many choices will cause people to question how Blizzard will choose if there's not enough of a majority.
And the story would have to be changed because of the choices just to accommodate something like Alexstrazsa for Warchief.
How's the progress on the american death star?
Democracy doesn't work because of idiocity and is easily abused by some guy campaigning for something ridiculous (see death star). Besides there isn't a single country today that actually has a proper democracy , most democratic nations only have the choice between party A and B, maybe C (voting C usually means your vote is wasted anyway, because they won't be able to do jack shit) and in the end you are stuck with a 51 to 49 majority that can do what they want, because any promose made during the election is forgotten after the winners party where they drink their brains out. Couple of years later rince and repeat. Actual democracy only works in very smal communities, like back in ancient grece when every adult male was able to raise his hand to vote for something, with out depending on some intermediate party that may or may not do what you want.
Edit: Hmm sorry, went off the road somehwere with my rant ..

Personally think they have already chosen the new Warchief a while ago, we just have to wait and see.
I'm an altoholic since 2005.
