One other minor point: strategic voting involving opinion polls depends
on BOTH strategic information about the other voters' behavior, AND
one's own cardinal utilities.  About the only time utilities would be
irrelevant is if you were the last to vote, and you knew how all the
others have voted.  This would not be the case with opinion polls.
