Are we going to have another 2-month blitz by the members, $70 million in donated funds, and repeated meetings to mobilize the opposition to the amendment? If that fails, what about in 2012?
For that matter, what happens if the amendment in 2010 passes? Is the church going to sponsor another amendment in 2012 that we will all have to get behind, as well?
Keep in mind, it was the black vote that really put Prop 8 over the edge. In 2010, there isn't going to be a presidential election with a black candidate on the ballot.
If you think gay marriage is defeated for good, you're delusional.
Are the members going to be as enthusiastic about it in 2010? in 2012?

There are 30 other states who have anti-gay marriage laws or amendments on the books, most of which passed in 2002 or 2004, if memory serves. So far as I know, only one has ever been defeated--in Arizona in 2006.
Curious, how many of those have been reversed?
