12. I would suggest that people who
lack the courage to vote for the best platform are voting against their best interests. :shrug:

If we are ever going to wrest power from the corrupt corporate cabal, voters are going to have to find some courage, in my opinion.

3. No surprise there.
The only surprise is the disdain that too many of his own party show him.

6. It is not exactly an online poll
The idea is that people indicate their issues, and then this is matched against the candidates issues. It is a blind poll against the candidate's issues.

It means that the plurality is in agreement with Kucinich on the issues, but apparently not on style.

7. There's no random sampling and you can stuff the box.
I just took the thing like three or four times.

10. I can't remember because I just did a few random issues.
I just wanted to see if the box could be stuffed.

11. It's still an internet poll
It's just a poll about the issues that are important, not directly about the candidates. But unless they have a way of assessing people who aren't on the internet, I don't see how you can say it's not an internet poll.

8. Kucinich scored top with a 61
and it's quickly downhill from there.

13. They could run their data in reverse just for fun.
Take the votes and calculate the most popular platform. Then pick all of the voters in the poll who voted exactly for that platform. These anonymous voters would be added (however many thousands there were) to the list of candidates. They would all beat Kucinich in a landslide.
