Harry Welty leads in 8th District Poll

Harry Welty, the independent candidate for the 8th Congressional District, leads in a radio station's online poll. KDAL-FM has a poll on its homepage. The choices are Jim Oberstar (DFL), Rod Grams (GOP), and Harry Welty. The results as of a few minutes ago out of 243 votes were
Oberstar 11.11%
Grams 7.00%
Welty 81.89%
Considering that most polls actually talk to between 750 and 1000 people, this is a rather outstanding result, even for self-selected voters.

I would say that there are a lot of dissatisfied voters who don't like the two candidates that get all newspaper coverage.
