Make lemonade!

NARAL's Goal:

"To Convince Enough Senators That Alito Is Wrong For Our Country, We Are
Setting A Goal Of Gathering 500,000 Petition Signatures To Deliver To
The Senate." (NARAL Email, "Just 5 Days Left!" 12/5/05)

NARAL's Result:

"With The Help Of More Than 50 Volunteers We Were Able To ... Enter
2,000 Signatures Into Our Activist Database From The 'Oppose Alito'
Petition Drive ..." (NARAL Email, "Thanks For Your Hard Work!" 1/10/06)

How's that for putting a positive spin on things?
