This site (which is going around facebook) has piqued my curiosity as to which videos are your go-tos for introducing people to Bernie or Progressive policies in general. Best to show like-minded people? Best ones to show conservatives?

Personally, I like to show the Papa Bear appearance (below the squig) to my conservative-but-possibly-open-minded relatives. O'Reilly makes it nice and accessible for them, at his blowhard best. Bernie not only holds his own, but also raises a number of points they can agree with.

As for the like-minded, its all gold.

Well, look, it had "Free" and "Talk" right there in the Facebook Page's name, which was apparently enough for the conservative wing of my family. I guess I should be happy two of them shared it even though they didn't get it at all...

Like many of us, I felt this Wisconsin loss coming. I tried to steel myself, to prepare for the inevitable. I held out a tiny ray of hope. Then tonight, seeing the results, I became disheartened.

My Facebook feed (as I imagine many of yours are) is a nonstop stream of spotify tracks, kid pictures, pithy-ish one-liners, and images of text. Then, several times a week, there's bait. It comes from extended family, ex-work acquaintances, high school classmates. Things like:

Well, tonight, I took the bait.

News of a Kurt Schrader ad via e-mail:

I wanted to give you an advance look at our first television ad of the fall campaign. We had a long day of filming with a bunch of great volunteers, and the whole campaign team is excited about how it turned out.

As you know television ads are the most expensive part of a congressional campaign. We've done a great job at getting endorsements, knocking on doors, and phone banking for votes. But all that hard work can get drowned out in a barrage of television ads at the end of the campaign.

And the video:

Expert (amateur) analysis and requisite personal anecdote post-jump...

Over the past week or so, I'd noticed an increase in mentions of Gordon Smith. Not anywhere specific, just here and there. We're bombarded with Smith-Merkley ads all night long on tv, which is expected and not a big hassle thanks to tivo. But it seemed like I'd been seeing pro-Smith rhetoric in the strangest of places, though I couldn't peg exactly where. Then, today, I finally paid attention:

(more examples after the jump)

It seems that Freedom's Watch has invested heavily in targeted Google Ads over Merkley's Georgia gaffe. Georgia on HuffPo, Georgia on my DKos feed, Georgia on my mind (h/t James Taylor). I assume others aren't getting these same Merkley ads, but are you seeing similar ads in regard to Senate races?

I've been volunteering for the Obama campaign since January. My wife and I started the local Obama group in our conservative county on the Oregon Coast. We got a field organizer stationed here during the primary, and Bill Clinton came to speak at our cheese factory. We lost Tillamook County to Hillary by 31 votes, which was a moral victory in these parts. While I am registered "no party," our house is adorned with Merkley and Obama signs and I consider myself fairly well known in the local democratic circles.

So imagine my surprise when this arrives in today's mail, addressed to me:
