Who they tellin’?  The problem with the LA Times piece however is that they’re basing their predictions on stuff we already know—plus their whack poll that says 3 more people than last year don’t wanna deal with marriage equality so soon.  We  find polls and study group statistics pretty jive at best. None of them ever ask even the most liberal blacks if they find it a wee bit problematic that Gay Inc., and its brethen all but wants to tar and feather Obama.  And yet these same polls and study group results claim confidence in their findings when it comes to opinions from African Americans on gay marriage.  Yes, we too, believe a Hummer could drive through that loophole without brushing the sides.

Getting back to the ailments of the 2010 campaign—it’s the gathering of the 1 million sigs we find somewhat insurmountable and well, unlikely .  While our inbox has been spammed with almost 1 million invites to join yet another 2010 supporting Facebook fan page—we have yet to receive an invite asking us if we’d like to provide a signature to support 2010.  Neither have any of our friends. That’s kinda scary, we think. It doesn’t say much about the sig gathering efforts.

Oh wait. Shoots.  Stop the press! Our bad. We so silly—–tee hee.  Of course none of our friends or us have been asked to sign up 2010—we all live south of Wilshire.   We don’t exist for 2010 —-or 2012—-or marriage equality. Duh.

Geez, the clarity a coupla’ sips of strong java can conjure up while hammering out a blog post.  Anywho—-here’s the LA Times piece. It’s tiny so we’re posting the whole thing here.

2010 GAY MARRIAGE VOTE UNLIKELY

It’s looking less likely that California voters will take up the issue of gay marriage in 2010.

Some gay rights activists planned to ask voters next year to repeal Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage that voters approved last year. But this week, a key organization backing the 2010 effort said it needed more time to develop a successful campaign.

A Los Angeles Times/USC poll released in November found a small majority of California voters supports the right of gay couples to marry, but a much larger portion of voters opposes efforts to place the issue on the ballot in 2010.
