Yes, they have no chance. See Maria-sama ga Miteru.

My point exactly.

And if I recall correctly, Code Geass was being hailed the biggest thing since Gundam by the end of 2006, so it's clearly popular by now (not now, but then.)
Hopefully, the recent airing of Code Geass R2 won't change anything about that though.

Your point also works the other way:

Spoiler:

1位　693票　Yuzuhara Konomi @ OVA ToHeart2
2位　582票　Shirley Fenette @ Code Geass
3位　309票　Kaminagi Ryoko @ ZEGAPAIN
Toheart 2 is a popular series in Japan.
Eh.. Not that popular.
It's what, Da Capo level popular?

Code Geass was far more popular at this point.

1位　731票　Vivio @ Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
2位　360票　Yamada Asu @ Binbou Shimai Monogatari
3位　346票　Cecille Croomy @ Code Geass
Honestly can't expect to win against vivio.
Or Asu Yamada from an anime I've never head of.

1位　850票　C.C. @ Code Geass
2位　363票　Amano Mishio @ Kanon
3位　325票　Setsuna @ Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora
C.C won.
Against a side character with 5 minutes of screentime and a character from a generic failure of a visual novel adaptation.

1位　982票　Izumi Konata @ Lucky Star
2位　460票　Euphemia li Brittania @ Code Geass
3位　333票　Tabitha @ Zero no Tsukaima
Give how "immense" L*S is, not surprised here either.
Given how "immense" Code Geass is, I don't understand. Also, double votes + 62.

1位　514票　Shimazu Yoshino @ Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA
2位　486票　Mashiro Blan de Windbloom @ Mai Otome Zwei
3位　281票　Cornelia Li Britannia @ Code Geass
No comment, because I don't know the winner here, but Cornelia was never THAT popular.
Yoshino has twin tails. And Cornelia is a man with long hair anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

1位　920票　Lanster @ Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
2位　483票　Nunnally Lamperouge (Nunnally Vi Britannia) @Code Geass
3位　220票　Yamada Kyou @ Binbou Shimai Monogatari
It's Nanoha, what do you expect?
For her to easily beat a character from the most popular mecha series in a decade.

1位　459票　Shigure Asa @ SHUFFLE! MEMORIES
2位　426票　Komaki Ikuno @ OVA ToHeart2
3位　209票　Villetta Nu @ Code Geass
Yet up against another two popular eroge adaptions.
That again, are not as popular as Code Geass.

1位　1112票 Fate T. Harlaown@Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
2位　237票　Millay Ashford @ Code Geass
3位　166票　Onimaru Miki @ Muteki Kanban Musume
No contest...
Obviously.

1位　399票　Sakai Chigusa @ Shakugan no Shana
2位　368票　Sumeragi Kaguya @ Code Geass
3位　264票　Sakuya @ Utawarerumono
It was a close one mind you, but Shana is a more popular series than CG back then.
No?
This is near the end of 2007, when Code Geass had sold more DVD's than The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. (or close to it.)

Also, don't know where you're going with that:
位　705票　Kallen Stadtfeld (Kouzuki Karen) @ Code Geass
2位　605票　Wilhelmina Carmel @ Shakugan no Shana SP ~Koi to Onsen
3位　320票　Kawakabe Momoka @ Touka Gettan
Kallen won this one.

1位　975票　Shana @ Shakugan no Shana Series
2位　811票　Evangeline A.K. Macdowell @ Negima!?
3位　213票　Kanaria @ Rozen Maiden ~Ouverture~
4位　177票　Kallen Stadtfeld (Kouzuki Karen) @ Code Geass
No contest? Kallen had no chance.
Obviously.

1位　775票　C.C. @ Code Geass
2位　660票　Minamoto Chikaru @ Strawberry Panic
3位　122票　Urutori @ Utawarerumono
Wins!
Again, look at her competition. Chikaru is from a dark horse series that was relatively popular, but not nearly enough to compete with something as popular as Haruhi.

1位　837票　Konoe Konoka @ Negima!?
2位　819票　C.C. @ Code Geass
Don't know what happened here but Negima is popular as well, and it was pretty close.
Eh, Negima is pretty popular, but it's safe to say that both tof the series and the two OVA's combined didn't sell half as well as Code Geass did.

Yeah, unfortunately, that's true.

So, I dont believe that C.C. only made it as far as she did on series mojo alone, just as I dont believe Shana making it as far on moe alone.

Obviously .
If a character did well based on moe/GAR/loliness alone, Shana wouldn't have won SaiLoli, Souseiseki would have never been a runner up, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:SaiGAR::Code Geass:SaiMoe.

I'm happy because Hina sweeped, but I'm sad because the troll in me wants to see Jun progress.
