The Bay Area Reporter: Several consultants approached by Marc Solomon, Equality California's marriage director, have indicated the community should try to repeal Prop 8 in 2012, which would allow for enough time to sway a majority of voters and raise the money needed to win. Their views come after several LGBT groups, including Honor PAC, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, came out against trying to repeal the state's constitutional same-sex marriage ban in 2010. Mark Armour, one of the consultants who provided analysis to Solomon on when a repeal should be put forward, was one of the people who came into the No on 8 campaign during its final weeks. His firm, Armour Griffin Media Group, was responsible for some of the best ads in the campaign, such as one that featured Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) urging the state's residents to vote no on the antigay measure. Reviewing information including Field Poll research, Armour concluded in his analysis that "2012 could be a stronger time to go to the ballot than 2010." In a phone interview, Armour told the B.A.R. that the decision about when to go back to the ballot "is a decision about when are we most likely to win, and it's a question of money, and who turns out, and it's a question of having the infrastructure and the outreach that will make us successful.

Very good site. Nice placing comments system. I am sorry for the off-topic write-up, but I had been really amazed with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Aussie OPen this year. The guy is probably unequalled. He demonstrated he had been as robust as stainless steel. Just think about he he can defeat Nadal who had been so determined to win as well as was really so motivated up while in the 5th set. Now i’m commencing to believe that Djokovic has been doing some psychic work to bring some aids on his side that help him secure such matches against the best players in the world
