this page shows how different voting methods (instant runoff, condorcet, etc.) would affect the outcome:

http://bolson.org/v/t?poll=2004r

note that the people who have voted, providing the data, are not necessarily representative, and that a landslide victory for dean is unlikely :D

here you can read about the methods themselves: http://www.electionmethods.org/tutorial.htm or http://bolson.org/voting/

one final note is that san francisco is using instant runoff voting in their upcoming mayoral election. read about that on google news here: http://tinyurl.com/4og7f

That site is pretty cool. I'll have to take a while and figure out how all of those different options work.

I will say, however, that it's clear that a large majority of web users prefer Howard Dean. :)
