Debate: bad. Dissent: worse.

In one of the few press reports on National Organization for Marriage's gloomy "gala" the other night (fourteen antigay Republicans running for President, but the only one they could get to show up was Santorum), The Guardian says NOM disclosed the movement's greatest fear:

Brian Brown, the group’s president, laid out a five-point plan for the group to achieve its goals. This included a push to defeat pro-same sex marriage Republicans, based on the thesis that a pro-gay marriage Republican would do far more damage to the cause than a Democrat who supported gay marriage.
