We need:

preload - use a standard preload and pass the option text in by parameter.
icon
question
votepage

answer1
answer1vote - the vote text to use for answer one - defaults to answer1
answer1color
answer2
answer2vote
answer2color
...

minimum - the minimum number of votes before results are displayed
break - if 'all', breaks on all options; if a number, breaks after that number option
overlay
expiry
