Game on, Gallagher!

This morning, appropriately just past the stroke of midnight, in The National Review, and quoting this blog, Maggie Gallagher wrote,
“New Hampshire is one of the state legislatures that Tim Gill money helped flip for the Democrats. They expected to pass a gay-marriage bill there today. But something totally unexpected just happened. Don’t take my word for it — this is how The New Civil Rights Movement described it:
New Hampshire Votes 188-186 Against Gay Marriage
New Hampshire, a state in which 55% of its electorate favors gay marriage, and 39% of its electorate opposes gay marriage, just defeated its gay marriage bill after passing it two weeks ago. “Huh?†you say? Right.”
Today, by a 14-10 vote, the New Hampshire Senate approved the changes and he bill went to the House. Most people went out for coffee. Three approvals by the Senate, two by the House, a report that the Legislature would easily pass it, a promise by the Governor that he would sign the bill, let’s have a latte. Well guess what? We just lost the House. By two damn votes: 188-186. . .
“Of course it didn’t just happen. We’ve figured out how to go over the heads of the media directly to the people on the marriage issue — even in New England. Some enterprising reporter may just ask how?”
Maggie, you just showed your hand. You just admitted that you and your organization infiltrated New Hampshire, against the will of its people, and somehow got to the Legislature, even after you viciously and falsely accused the Democrats of doing just that. What was it, was it your robocalls in New Hampshire, Maggie?
Maggie, it’s a Pyrrhic victory. Do you honestly think we’re going to let you steal this from us? Not when 55%, the majority of New Hampshire, want it. We’ve got two weeks. Game on, Gallagher!
Oh, and the name of the post was not, “New Hampshire Votes 188-186 Against Gay Marriage”. It was, “Enough Of This Already. Are You Fed Up Yet?”
Yes, we are.
