You're talking about... dare I say it... a poll field type! Anyone who wants to attempt building such a beast for CCK is very welcome to. I will happily provide guidance.
i'm torn about this: + you can actually have a *body* that describes the poll, or any other fields that make sense for the node you want displayed. i find it very weird that polls don't currently have a body, and if you want any text associated with them (other than the title/question), you have to enable comments and use those. - if it's just a field, it's harder (i think) to have tabs on the node page for doing interesting things with the poll. for example, polls currently allow you to view the poll (if you haven't voted) and the results as separate tabs. my patch in http://drupal.org/node/51561 adds yet another tab (for people w/ the right permission) to view the actual votes (by username or IP/host for anonymous). i'm not sure if/how CCK field types handle this sort of thing... if a field can register tabs when viewing the container node. if CCK fields can manage tabs for their container node, i'm all for this approach. -derek (dww) p.s. shouldn't we move this thread to http://groups.drupal.org/voting-systems ?
