Take two steps forward and one step back

Sometimes losing is a step towards winning if more people pay attention to the argument and the debate advances. Losing the Calif. ban means we have sharpened our arguments, deepened our resolve, and persuaded others of the necessity of our cause. It will be much easier to win next time.

The addition of Ted Olson to the debate (as I wrote about before) argues that gay marriage and gay rights are no longer just a Dem issue. Some GOP people now get it. Even if he and David Boies don't get very far in their quest, having Olson, a strong GOP supporter, articulate reasons (which he does well in this 8 minute video) advances the cause. Naturally, those reasons are ones that we've been articulating for a good long time now.
