Susan Estrich used six hundred and six words to convey the argument that gay rights activists really can still get meaningful action from this administration.
I can rebut that argument in four: Proposition 8 exit poll.

And I normally don’t bother linking directly to the Online Left anyway – still, regarding today’s completely unsurprising California Supreme Court decision on Proposition 8, Taylor Marsh writes:
The first thing you have to ask is how Californians allowed the referendum to pass in the first place. How does a civil rights campaign in California fall to the bigots? Because many people don’t vote in off election cycles, and the most committed wins. The anti civil rights crowd is wrong on this issue, but they are determined.
Leaving aside for the moment the advisability – or indeed, the basic morality – of attacking same-sex marriage opponents* in such a fashion, I am forced to ask: in what alternate universe was the 2008 Presidential election an ‘off election cycle’?

*Particularly given the demographic breakdowns – and yes, I am aware what the Left’s pet astrologer told them.
