We're now down to the nail-biting days and it looks like what we feared most is occurring -- the nomination of Sarah Palin as veep has energized The Base to pour money into "saving marriage" in California. They see it as a last stand. I'm going to donate tonight - we can't lose this one. Karen Ocamb filed this report on Sirius OutQ News today:
Since Republican presidential nominee John McCain picked evangelical Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate - the Yes on 8 campaign has leapt ahead in the fundraising arena - raising around five million dollars since Sept. 1.
As of right now - the antigay Yes on 8 campaign has sixteen million dollars to spend on expensive commercial air time - compared to eleven million for the No on 8 campaign.
