Better than most of anyone else left in the Demeo upper echelon after Tony or Silvio? Or way to unpredictable and nutty? Or would have been givien the power of Capo or boss calmed him down and made him mature.
I've walked along the red canal of mars I've known kings and king makers Poets painters and paupers I've danced danced on the rings of Saturn Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered

I think he would have been a bad Boss for a number of reasons,first and foremost,his psycho personality. Then you have his lack of respect for anyone else. Remember when Vito's brother was in the coma and Ralphie said "he wasn't that smart to begin with? As far as beating the stripper to death,I don't think that would cause him a problem. one,she was not related to or married to any made guys. Two, her murder would have been just like the waiter that Chris and Paulie killed. bad decision,yea,but no made guy (Soprano member or any other Family member) would have any business questioning it.
IMHO,he was just too egocentric to head the Sopranos. I could almost see him playing "got your nose" with Carmine Luppertazzi,or giving him "noogies" at a major sitdown,and thinking he was the life of the party.

don't forget how much paulie hated him ! I agree with you. [/quote] Also, he wasn't a very formidable guy. I mean, not every Boss needs to be a big hulky guy. But Ralph while a sadistic crazy fuck didn't have that commanding presence, that scariness that could put subordinates in their place (even if Paulie didn't hate him). He was an effete, well dressed guy who I'm surprised got as high up as he did. He came off a little too booksmart to be a Mafioso.
