Prediction: Dems are Going to Win the VA Gerrymandering Battle

The anti-gerrymandering position is only slightly more popular than the pro- position. And the Dems are just absolutely kicking the red team's ass on this. They've produced a bunch of slick and misleading tv ads, for one thing, and the weak response I've seen is...well...weak. We got a fake "newspaper" in the mail the other day. The fake name of the fake newspaper was "The Virginia Independent." The lead story was thinly-veiled pro-gerrymandering propaganda, and the rest of the thing was thinly-veiled propaganda for other Dem policies and proposals (e.g. the "assault weapons" ban). The yard sign battle...well...I can't really tell. My neighborhood is packed with leftist yard signs, so it's not a random sample. There's one sad yard sign that reads "Vote No April 21st" (as if April 21st were on the ballot...) at an intersection about a mile away...

The OD is SOL.
