§some clarification of the poll results

Not to dash cold water on the poll results, but "1,040,226 respondents" doesn't actually mean that many individuals voted in the poll. Just that many votes were cast. Anyone can vote multiple times, although it's not clear if you must have a different IP address for it to count your multiple votes, or just the number of votes are not updated instantly.

Regardless, it's fun to see nader that far ahead an any poll, even if it is unscientific. It's spit-easy to vote, so get to it! (except, of course, all you anarchists that don't believe in voting)
