These types of relaxing channels don't typically have ads popping up in the middle of their videos, in the middle of the night, only have ads in the beginning. What was Tina's campaign strategy that she did that? Seems a whiff of desperation?
Meanwhile Christine Drazan popped out some ads like she was Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
The Top Gun image goes more to candidate Betsy Johnson who flew helicopters to fight forest fires, rescue people off the mountain and even flew over to Mt. St. Helens after it erupted. Betsy hasn't saturated the airwaves thus far.

Christine Drazan has the next most saturation of ads. Her ads, however, don't come in the middle of the night. Christine's strategy to win includes not coming into Multnomah County or Portland, not even to meet up with Republicans who support her, and Republicans there were told "no yard signs".
Christine's most recent Twitter social media strategy was to hit hard at those poll numbers from polling companies many see as lacking credibility, validity and reliability. They see manipulation.
Scott Adams of Dilbert Comic fame last week made this same point regarding most studies, in general, as not being objective. Adams said that the media picks who we are to vote for then voters go out and vote that way. Portland media's manipulative use of the polls regarding the governor race's seems to bear out his analysis.
Betsy Johnson has not saturated the air waves or social media. Instead there seems to be a steady stream of articles written about her that capture the dynamic woman that she is, the relationships she has built overtime, her hard work ethic, Betsy taking on unelected state agency heads and prevailing to help regular Oregonians.

If you were going to have a dinner party, of the three, you'd invite Betsy to that table because it is going to be a night of engaging conversation, wit, laughter and storytelling like this one:
From the two and a half years of Hell brought in my Kate Brown and Tina Kotek, more and more Oregonians have come back to life and laughter as well.
Tina and Christine are both socially awkward in meeting the public that isn't their campaign staff, creating a very controlled environment with few people in attendance. Tina walked away at a candidate's forum when asked about sex abuse to students in public schools.
Betsy on the other hand came into Portland, spoke at the mostly Republican Executive Club (you can be any party you want or none, all are welcome) for 45 minutes, then did Q & A, then went on the floor, and talked to anyone and everyone who wanted to talk with her.
Talking to Christine Edwards and Gordon Fulks.
Being greeted by Greg Tenney.
A crowded room, Betsy's personality and wit engaged and connected with the audience. 
More Oregonians have come back to life. They may want someone leading Oregon now whose very presence gives life to life, someone who has gone outside the box to get things accomplished.
Tina seems to have no awareness of what she helped Kate Brown do to Oregon, including Portland, where in her district one business in the area, just a couple of miles from her house, for over 30 years, never saw her until recently Tina showed up. 
At a park in Scappoose, Oregon, folks were asked if they see Betsy. The answer was "all the time". Betsy showed up in her district, supporting the community in all kinds of ways.
Betsy listening intently to state representative candidate Patrick Castles with state senate candidate Ben Edtl listening behind her. Many Oregonians are tired and done with the extremes in both the Democrat and Republican parties. They are tired of labels. Exhausted from the elevated melt downs of those "offended" by "everything!"
Even Willamette Week in their primary election interviews of candidates were surprised to find a Republican running for whom they had some respect.
The Willamette Week endorsed Patrick over his opponent in the primary. Castles has been out in his district campaigning the old fashion way. Door to door meeting his neighbors, Castles often has 8 hour days doing that. Castles is a sincere, balanced, calm intelligent man respectful to all he encounters.
Will Oregonians choose the non-affiliated governor candidate representing everyone? Or will the two party battle continue on?
