Letter from Barack Obama went Unused by 'No on Prop 8' Campaign

It's hard to believe things could get worse for the bungled "No on Prop 8" campaign in hindsight, but it appears they have. Over the weekend, fury re-erupted across the gay blogosphere following a report on the recent "No on 8" Town Hall in the Bay Area Reporter. The fury is ( Read more... )

There's still a ton of talk on L.A. talk radio about this of course. Person after person (even in leadership positions), basically admitting that they never thought it would pass and angry with themselves and their action committees for not pushing their supporters to the limit.

And this is why I respect Obama and his staff mroe and more for pressing us to be on it right until the polls closed on Election Day. If we had gotten complacent, you never know what could have happened.

However, I still haven't been able to get to the bottom of why in the hell it was allowed on the ballot at all!!!!!!! I don't care what the proposition was about, it is not up for ballot vote without 2/3 of legislation allowing it to be put up. I want to know "who" let this happen.
