I agree that Jaime is more analogous to John Stewart than Kyle Raynar in that regards.
Been mentioned, but it warrants reiteration: this thread's poll isn't indicative of the relative or comparative popularities of Jaime and Ted, especially since these forums have a demographic that skews towards those who tend to prefer older characters, incarnations, and story lines than newer ones. Besides, fans of comic book media doesn't begin or end here. In addition, Ted has had more consistent appearances and cameos in comics since Rebirth than Jaime has.
