Sure, some mistakes were made, but there are always some mistakes. All in all, they didn't do a bad job, and we'll get 'em in 2010!
Yeah, 48% of the population voting against the measure is a great number, until you realize that you need 50%. Sorry, the campaign wasn't good enough to cut it. In the real world, when an organization fails to achieve its clear and stated goal, that means that it failed. In the gay organizing world, if they gave it the ol' college try and had a good time while doing it, it's good enough.
This is a losing mentality.
