In two separate interviews, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America continued to place game on the Prop 8 decision - which they lost big time - on other reasons. Never mind their side just couldn't defend its mess.
It was the classic religious right strategy of using talking points to evade the question. I don't think the hosts (Rick Sanchez or Chris Matthews) were having any of it though:
You make a good point (about why they lost). From what I've read of the transcripts, it seems like they did a terrible job defending the case. I'd like to think that's because there just wasn't an argument they could make (or an expert who would come across as, you know, an expert), but rational basis isn't an especially tough standard to meet.
