MY THOUGHTS, FOR WHAT THEY MIGHT BE WORTH TO YOU

By Bob Walsh

 


 
Proposition 50 in California.  I am guesstimating it will pass by 55% to 60% or there abouts.  I wish that it wouldn't, but the STICK IT TO TRUMP VOTE YES ON 50 campaign has been very pervasive and apparently very effective.  There is a reasonable possibility that federal court action will prevent implementation but that is far from a sure thing let alone a done deal.

New Jersey governors race.  The republican, Jack Ciattarelli, has a respectable chance of knocking off the Democrat, Mikie Sherill.  Competent polling suggest a difference of less than 1% one day before the election.  Polling of course is not an exact science.  

Virginia governors race.  Winsome Earle-Sears, a black female conservative Republican, has only a very modest chance at beating the democrat Spanberger.  Sad, but true.  The polling is breaking about 10% in Spanberger's favor.  The fact that the populous portions of northern Virginia are essentially suburbs of D C does not help matters for any conservative.

Virginia attorney generals race.  This is a close one.  Turns out that the democrat, Jay Jones, is a hate-filled borderline psychopath and some of his hate-filled ramblings wishing death on the children of his political opponents surfaced within the last month.  That being said his race against the republican, Jason Miyares, is so close the polls can't call it.  I SUSPECT that in the long run the voters will be so appalled by Jones' past conduct they will not vote for him, but politics is so tribal these days I would not care to bet which way the election will go.  Jones apologized, but how do you apologize for something like that?
