Short of the Dragon Reborn, it is the most powerful position in the world, and that still holds true.
Everything else I pretty much agree with. But the list of top 3 powerful people are:
1. Rand
2. Tuon
3. Egwene
Tuon now doesn't have the whole Seanchan continent backing her. What she has is roughly 200K soldiers, Tarabon, Amadicia and Ebou Dar (none of which were major military powers save Amadicia, and their most significant military asset is now with Perrin), and an unspecified number of damane that is almost certainly smaller than the full number the Tower can field.
Plus, Egwene now has the beginnings of a working relationship with the WF and the WO, added to some influence with the DR, much influence with the rest of the Randland continent, the full backing of Andor-Cairhein... She's in sum, definitely more powerful than Tuon.
Egwene, a poor leader?

Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician.

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ...

Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM*

Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight

Exactly how loyal do you think Nynaeve and Elayne are?

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV

I don't think the case can be made for Rand having it easy

I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad.

But you are just undervaluing Egwene's struggles in comparison to the other characters.

I think comparing Egwene to McCain is asking for trouble on several fronts.
