The 86% at Polymarket is about what I would expect given all we have are a couple of polls showing Yes up a few points. But how many in those polls fully understood the implications of Yes/No given the Democrats wrote the question? I think its going to be close, and the Span-burglar job approval is probably a better gauge of the referendum. Its going to come down to turnout. Independents should be on the GOP side regardless the party they vote for in November, because they will want choices in November.

This podcast is long, but I encourage everyone to watch it. A professor from Dallas interviews three co-authors of a new book dealing with logic and sound reasoning. They are coming from a Christian world-view perspective, but what they say is applicable to the logic used in everyday life, and they even get a little into politics. The logical fallacies they speak to illustrate part of why our society is in such a mess.

Last minute talks to begin with Iran. Expect Iranians to offer promise of an agreement in order to extend the ceasefire….and as usual it’s the same old empty promise. Delay, Delay, Delay. String us along to avoid getting hit. It’s the same old BS. Same playbook as always. It never changes. Extend the ceasefire for an empty promise of progress. Rinse and repeat.
If Trump extends the ceasefire he’s playing right into their hands. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I expect to happen. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve just seen this movie too many times before.

Tillis has been useless his entire second term in the Senate. It’s his kind of Republican that makes the party rank in file distrust the party. Romney is gone so I guess Tillis felt it left an opening to be the new MSM’s favorite Republican. He stepped right in. He and Murkowski competing to be the left’s favorite useful idiot. I still give the edge to Murkowski who only stays in office because of ranked choice voting in Alaska. Collins I give some slack to since she is from a blue state and voted to confirm Kavanaugh who made it by one vote (Murkowski voted no of course). McConnell? He is just a useless dick – a no on the Save America Act BTW. No voter ID necessary, right Mitch?

If forced to make a prediction, I would expect that No will be ahead for much of the evening, and then with 99% of the vote already in across northern Virginia, suddenly 9000 Yes votes will drop out of nowhere, and put yes over the top 50.2 to 49.8.
I have seen this movie before and it always ends the same way. I am still shocked that didn’t happen in 2021 when Youngkin came out on top. The only thing I can figure is that the guy with a car trunk stuffed with McAwful ballots either drove the wrong car to the precinct counting place or had a flat tire on the way.

Regrettably, I think Yes pulls it out, but it’s MUCH closer than people expect. Doesn’t help the GOP, it’s the same whether it passes by fifteen points or just fifteen votes, but perhaps a good indicator that Dems can still cook themselves with their extreme overreach.

GF, early on the ads and messaging was overwhelmingly on the YES side of the vote. Then about three weeks ago, it evened out, and then the last week, it was entirely the NO side. So the GOP, at least in my part of the state, kept the powder dry until the last week before the voting.

Barring a massive last minute shift this afternoon, NO will win the ED vote handily. It’s just that the EV will be so lopsidedly YES that it’s hard for me to see that being overcome. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing that will matter is that the EV is something like only 4% from what I saw (maybe that was the strictly mail vote, not early in person). If that’s correct, NO has an outside shot.

Here is the page if you want to see the early voting. The way it looks to me is NO has a shot, but only if there is overwhelming election day turnout in all the rural parts of the state. I doubt that will happen.

The YES vote certainly has an 8 to 1 cash advantage over the more rural NO grass roots. However, in the past money has not always won out over an opponent backed by an energized coalition of volunteers. I hope VA is able to overcome this unfair proposition that will disenfranchise such a large swarth of conservative voters.

“Big upticks in NoVA in the late morning hours. Democrats are starting to see the kind of turnout they need to hang on here, and YES is even more clearly favored than this morning.”
Honestly, YES was always going to win. Far more Democrats in Virginia than Republicans, and Independents don’t really care about choices, at least not enough to show up and vote.
And voters in western Virginia don’t seem to care because they will still have the one GOP seat left.
But the Dems had the money, they wrote the question for the ballot, and they have lied about the resolution over and over and over. Calling fair what is completely unfair.
Its the losing campaign that on election day starts talking about grassroots, and late efforts, and so forth.
My final prediction is that Yes will win 55.5 to 44.5.
Sad day for the country and for Virginia. The house is gone this fall. And the next two years nothing but gridlock and a million more impeachment votes.

Iranian negotiators begin their usual stall for time game today and tomorrow. Worthless negotiating which never works and won’t bring any results this time. It’s not designed to. It’s the usual play for time game by the Iranians. It will push another one of Trump’s red lines back and delay any resumption of US military bombardment. It will work, too. It always does.
At least this time we will still continue the economic squeeze – the blockade, seizing Iranian oil on the high seas, sanctions, freezing their bank accounts in Gulf countries.
With any other government, especially a government presiding over an economy in shambles, that would be enough to get them to cry uncle. Probably not with this bunch of loons, however. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. This Vahidi guy in charge is supposedly insane and worse than all the dead guys we’ve eliminated. Maybe, Mossad has a bead on him, and he will get a dirt nap. Anyway, Iran will succeed in putting off any imminent military action by the US. It’s the way this always plays out.
