2. Great! Although I am an Edwards fan!

But I'd vote for Obama over Hillary anyday. Why do Democrats want a rerun?

9. It's Apples to Banana's. Ron Paul wins lots of internet polls too

The results you see at 49% are done by respectable polling firms using scientifically validated methods.
see RCP polling where all the major polls are posted- http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/charts/2008_election_primaries/democratic_primaries_chart.html

Internet polls are non-scientific and fun to play with, see any poll at MSNBC or AOL's home page. They should never be used or mistaken for a "serious" poll.

6. Can Obama take the Internet slackers and get them to vote for real?

"Obama had the most votes," says McMahon, "so we're theorizing that possibly the younger audience might be a little more comfortable voting on the Internet."
----
The voting was probably "DUed" to some extent by youthful Yahooers voting with each of their many login names.
