I was the person who originally mentioned the poll. I couldn't remember
which channel it came from, and did check channel websites. That would
make sense that the poll was one of the self selecting polls.

The only poll that counts is the one taken at election time. I'm curious
though. Do you think there's a chance that the DFL convention could end up

show up to those conventions are going to be the folks who aren't happy
with Sayles Belton.
