I'm already running Beatpath Winner polls on the Democratic primary candidates
and on a bunch of conceivable presidential candidates, at

http://www5.cs.cornell.edu/~andru/civs/public_elections.html

You can use the site to set up your own polls if you don't like the candidates
I picked.

Interestingly, the Democratic primary poll (which has attracted the most votes)
has succeeded in constructing an acyclic preference graph both times that I
have run it, despite there being nine candidates.
