Talking About Maine Tonight

I've spent the day talking with campaign folks and digesting some of what happened while I was traveling back home. Tonight I'll be on Live From the Left Coast at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST with Angie Coiro with a short preview of some of the problems that existed, both with the campaign and with problematic electoral organizing I saw in our movement and with the Obama administration. Lengthier piece tomorrow here at OpenLeft.

Live streaming here.

No offense, Adam, and my (4.00 / 2)
experience was just a tiny sliver of yours, but this sounds like navel-gazing. The reason we lost isn't because we didn't organize well enough. The reason we lost is because too many fuckwit morons hate and fear gays. We can't out-hustle that--and we shouldn't need to try.

California was a mess on our side, but Maine was flawless. I was involved for a short period while vacationing a few weeks ago and I was blown away with how great No on 1 was.

Yes on 1 didn't even have nearly a good enough campaign. When a great campaign loses to a medicore campaign, I can't help but place the blame on one thing...the voters.

There are multiple reasons we lost, and that is one of them.

And yes, we do need to try.

Try to out-hustle? (0.00 / 0)
I dunno. I'm not sure that oughtta be the source of equal rights.

Also not sure I believe that if we ran a perfect campaign, the result would've been different.
