Hoping you’re right but fearing you’re not.

PC,

On a Presidential election year young people will be out to vote. I believe Washington has a pretty high voter turnout too.

TampaZeke,

The only reason we lost in Maine was the fact that it was an off year election, which are always sqewed to the right. The other side simply showed up to vote in greater numbers then our side. Again, with 2012 being an election year it will be different.

I know Prop 8 was on an election year, but that was because No on 8 ran a piss poor campaign.

Stefan, I wish that that were true but we said the same thing during the Maine campaign yet NOM’s tactics played just as well as they did years earlier in California.

I’m not too confident. While young people generally support marriage equality, they are not always very good at voting.

TamapaZeke,

I really think that in 2012 the claims that NOM make are going to fall on deaf ears. It will now have been 3 years since the gay marriage sweep of 2009, and nothing has happened.

Those are the numbers PRIOR to NOM, the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church pouring in tens of millions of dollars worth of lies and distortions scaring 10 to 20% of the ignorant and fearful to change their mind from supporting us to voting against us. It’s happened in every state where polls showed us winning (California, Maine, etc.) and, as of yet, our side has been completely inept in countering the assault.

These polls always make me wonder what kind of person would take away right that are already given.
