NOM, 2008: “We Won Despite Being Outspent” versus NOM, 2012: “We Lost Because We Were Outspent”
“Maine is one of the most secular states in the nation. It’s socially liberal. They had a three-year head start to build their organization, and they outspent us two to one. If they can’t win there, it really does tell you the majority of Americans are not on board with this gay marriage thing.”
— Maggie Gallagher
Former president, National Organization for Marriage

“Our victories in California, Maine, New Jersey, and New York were based on your willingness to provide the resources necessary to fight the good fight. … We’re up against a cadre of gay marriage advocates and millionaires and have been repeatedly outspent. But we’ve won because of you.”

“We were outspent eight-to-one — and no one was willing to speak for marriage, while the whole Democratic establishment and Hollywood campaigned for marriage. Last night really is a big loss, no way to spin it.”
— Maggie Gallagher
