[0] 1 [The Reality] We are actually 1 million votes away from being able to reverse Prop 8 in a presidential election year. That’s not close. Although No on 8 made mistakes, we lost because we didn’t effectively respond to anti-gay attacks—and we have work to do before we have an effective answer to the attacks. We should go back to the ballot when we can discredit the appeals to anti-gay prejudice, and not before. See Finding 7 and Appendix K for a more detailed explanation. [The Common Conception] 
The election was so close that we can easily reverse the results. A future campaign just needs to avoid the obvious mistakes of No on 8 and we’ll win.
