Our opposition's electoral strategy: Yes to NOM, no to 'nom, nom, nom'
In California's Prop 8 debate, Rev. Jim Garlow was front in center. In Maine's Question One rollback of marriage equality, Catholic Bishop Richard Malone was omnipresent.

The Rev. Jim Garlow, a San Diego pastor who has led opposition to gay marriage, says Christians will be asked to fast and pray from Sept. 20 to Oct. 30.

Organizers of the effort, called "Pray & ACT," also include Roman Catholic Bishop Richard Malone of Portland, Maine, Southern Baptist leader Dr. Richard Land, Chuck Colson, and the Rev. Jack Hayford.

Only until Oct. 30? What, are pumpkin-shaped cookies and fun-sized Snickers bars just too tempting to resist or something? Where's your commitment to go all the way to the 11/2 election day, kiddos? Wouldn't logic suggest that the day before and day of would be the MOST important?
