My main problem with the radio buttons being at the bottoms of nodes is that they would then fall close to the heading of the next node. They look more like a heading element than a body element so it becomes very easy to see them as being attached to the heading of the next node rather than attached to the bottom of the body of the previous node, no matter what reasonable amount and type of "separation" you try to place bewteen them or explanatory text beside them.

If someone really wants to have this feature implemented, then they need to work up some example mark-up that won't lead to lots of confusion about which node is being voted on.

I'd be more likely to support placing the vote buttons within the bottom of the "[reply]" bar beside notes (and at the bottom of the first node displayed, above the "comment on" link -- probably with some extra footer information added just for the added separation value).

It also adds complication and load since I'd prefer to keep the reputation at the top so we'd have to have two checks per node displayed and more complex code (or duplicated code).
