Prop 8 - We blew it - Yes on 8 did it well
That is all everyone is talking about at the bars.
The consensus seemed to be,
1. Where were we? I did not see door knocking, picket signs in the suburbs of CA. Only in the Castro. That doesn't help. You don't picket a gay area for gay rights.
2. Example. In South San Francisco, where I live, for 2 weekends in a row, there were Yes on 8 protestors picketing along El Camino Real, from Westborough Blvd, down to Tanforan Shopping Center. That's over 3 miles! And the number of picketers was large. So how many other "straight" cities did they organize in?
3. Like the Obama campaign, they were very very organized.
4. We were not. We blew it. We were too confident.
5. I think, we need some better organization next time.
