Care to elaborate on this with some references?

there maybe electrons and nuetrons, but the overall charge is POS, thus a lack of electrons generally.
so.. it may be considered a current of positive ions, but since it doesnt follow any specifc path, it would seem.. "wind", is the best word.

this does not make sense, the PU/EM theories assume (I hope) that the electrodynamics as set up by Maxwell is still valid. If there would be this high positive charge flowing outward (radially) then at some point the sun would become so negatively charged that the wind would stop, or more likely, the electrons will move along with the ions.
A quick look in "Introduction to Stellar Winds" by Lamers and Cassinelli (two very good solar physicist) does not give any info of the solar wind to be charged. It is a plasma and plasmas tend to be (quasi-)neutral.
