Please share and distribute as much as possible :)

Encourage anyone who likes it or is liberty-minded in general to donate to www.bentivolioforcongress.com as well to keep this ad on the air. We need to build name recognition to be sure we beat the write-in challenger in the primary.

[mod edit] looks like the original version has been pulled but I think this video below is the same thing if not slightly different

also another ad that has been released that is internet-only:

Would've been great if he'd gotten Rand and Thomas Massie's ad company, but this is still pretty good.
 
Make sure to donate if you can. It will apparently cost $2K a day to keep this ad on the air. It's best to do this now rather than later so the establishment won't have a chance to mischaracterize him with the voters.
 
Really nice to see other videos on the front page that aren't related to the campaign for Pres.

We need to get some Kurt Bills up in here. Senate races should be treated the same as POTUS...

With the Dem incumbent up big, I think we need to do an assessment on whether the race is winnable or not. An internal poll would be nice.

Edit-we really need PACs to get involved if we want to win. Lack of their spending makes me wonder whether they consider it winnable. http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?cycle=2012&id=MNS2

Whatever happened to that PAC that the young man started who inherited some money? I haven't heard anything from them in awhile.

They hired some ron paul peeps:
The super PAC's executive director, Preston Bates, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Chris Kuper has signed on as political director. Kuper had served as Paul's liaison for national coalitions. Bates said several other Paul aides also were added, including Jared Chicoine as senior adviser, Kate Schackai as press secretary, and Jordan Brown as senior researcher.

I thought the primary was for (through party error) an open seat, in a GOP leaning district. If that's not the case, it's not really winnable (in the eventual election). The ideal winning formula for liberty candidates, at minimum is 1) an open seat race, 2) run in the primary the district leans towards, 3) get a good candidate, and 4) raise the serious money (about $500k and up for Congress, $2 million and up for Senate) needed to win over the course of the campaign. If you doubt the numbers on point 4), go to opensecrets.org and check its data on congressional races over the last few cycles. There's no case where any candidate won the election, without raising at least $400,000 for the House seat, or $2 million for Senate.

I think GA was talking about Kurt Bills, not Kerry Bentivolio, in what you quoted.

the separate thing about Bills though is that the ONLY reason and basis for a primary challenge (the main people agreed to be bound by the MN GOP endorsement) is that he supports Ron Paul. His losing at the primary level will hurt our credibility there, imho. The ultimate election is a separate matter, but the edge the Dem has was measured against a neocon, not against Bills. RON did well there.

the dem is not up big. Bills name ID is super low, hence the the polling. It will be a close race though.

Well, we already know that the Republicans support their nominee, so there is work to be done among the Independence party and the independent voters.

Hopefully Ramsey's superpac jumps in.
 
Correction noted on the Bills race. The true test as to whether the incumbent Republican or "Democrat is up" over the liberty candidate is to look at the performance of the incumbent in the last election. If the district voting pattern is say 75% or more tilted to one major party, absent a sex scandal, the nominee from that party is going to win, period. That's why ONLY open seats should be contested, if we want a higher percentage chance of a liberty candidate winning.

Another great idea. The liberals have their own polling outfit (PPP), we need a liberty polling outfit that reports accurate findings whether we're races are winnable or not.
