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.

I have to agree (0.00 / 0)

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.

No (0.00 / 0)

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.
