What happened? The opposition mounted a $30 million TV advertising blitz that was able to define the issue before we could. The right to marry in California will be decided by a small group of "movable" voters who don't necessarily like the idea of same-sex marriage but aren't sure whether they want to discriminate, either. The only way to effectively reach these voters is through massive TV ad buys. We are behind by some $10 million, and now we are behind in the polls.
