Bay Area Reporter: "[Consultant Steve] Smith also acknowledged that the campaign should have used then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's stated opposition to Prop 8. Instead, little use was made of Obama's opposition in a letter last June to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, and right before Election Day the Yes on 8 campaign sent out a mailer featuring Obama's image and quotes that he is opposed to same-sex marriage.
Enough said. They had this letter, the opposition used Obama's image - Alice club dropped the ball. I think the gay community needs to take a close look at leadership. The club whines that it was widely covered but what did they do to capitalize on the coverage? Did they frame a media campaign around the issue? No. Fire the bosses, if you don't have the stones to be a leader then get the hell out of the way.
