And it's true, that poll-tested ad is slick. He's getting the hang of a national campaign.

Soon, perhaps as early as next week, pro-Sanders TV commercials will begin. Despite the candidate’s philosophical aversion to poll-tested messages, these spots were guided by polling data that his campaign has only recently started collecting and analyzing.

The Sanders commercials weren’t finalized by last week — but outlines hit on Sanders biography and seemed tailored to address a weakness: That Sanders’ iconoclastic outsider message doesn’t convey to some that he has the skills and temperament to govern.

You are correct. They did change the headline. Armstead Nov 2015 #14

Thanks. This is common on the web. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #18

Surprised after all of the reports of big crowds. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #57

The man is working. I think you're going to be surprised as he turns these skeptical rooms into Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #60

No, I have been in meetings with seniors, if they are interested they do not continue to play cards. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #62

I guess you know seniors. It seems the Hillary camp are masters of slicing and dicing populations Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #77

Let us continue to olay cards, we are entertaining ourselves. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #88

In fairness to Janey Vee...They did change the headline Armstead Nov 2015 #16

They did change it Cali_Democrat Nov 2015 #20

The lede was buried in the sub-header. The take away is that the day of the Big Room is over, MADem Nov 2015 #19

Actual headline was changed--look at the LINK in the OP. What does it say? nt MADem Nov 2015 #22

still doesn't make the original true but at least they changed it azurnoir Nov 2015 #73

The article you are referencing is a different event, not the senior center lunchtime speech. nt MADem Nov 2015 #76

Okay, here comes the part where the headlines is the problem. We can be honest here sometimes. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #6

See post 9. They changed the headline. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #13

It did not change the number of seats which was filled, from the title of the op, that did not Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #17

That's true. eom BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #66

So when will you? whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #30

Why should she at this point? The headline is still in the original link, and everyone has already MADem Nov 2015 #37

Leaving it be confirms the shitty accusations whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #39

What it confirms is how many people were QUICK to accuse the thread starter of nefarious conduct. MADem Nov 2015 #40

Textbook subterfuge whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #42

Textbook paranoia, I could reply. You persist in accusing the thread starter of not having a MADem Nov 2015 #48

Not sure...but I was going for consistency nt Sheepshank Nov 2015 #98

I don't think he's got a lock on seniors--in fact, I don't think they like him all that much. nt MADem Nov 2015 #24

They also don't have access to the internet and alternate sources of information HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #27

Not all of them are internet - deprived. MADem Nov 2015 #31

I get tired of hearing that seniors are Internet deprived. murielm99 Nov 2015 #74

As someone who worked in elder care for over a decade... Scootaloo Nov 2015 #28

Blame the Boston Globe-that was their original headline, as can be seen in the OP link. nt MADem Nov 2015 #32

Which is why JaneyVee posted it. Doesn't change the silliness of it. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #35

I think she posted it because his campaign IS entering a different phase, and the Boston Globe is MADem Nov 2015 #38

yup wendylaroux Nov 2015 #54

I think they just meant that the campaign, in general, was getting harsher 72DejaVu Nov 2015 #34
