I'll take the bet.

The survey started by asking about my voting preferences including  
the Merkley-Novick race, so they already knew that I held a slight  
preference for Novick.  They wanted to know if they could change my  
mind with that ad.  I told them that I wouldn't listen to the ad  
because I don't like them.  When I saw the ad I recognized it, and it  
did change my mind.  Instead of remaining quiet in this race I became  
vocal.

Which reminds me, I need to send a few e-mails.  Thanks for the  
reminder.
