The National Organization for Marriage – the nation’s biggest purveyor of lies and unchristian intolerance – spent roughly $2.7 million to push its anti-equality agenda on top in the 2010 midterms. Fortunately, thanks to HRC and Courage Campaign’s NOMExposed.org, it didn’t exactly pay off.

In a report card released today the collaboration reveals that while NOM endorsed 29 anti-gay candidates, 19 of them lost, 8 won and 2 are undecided.

According to Nom Exposed, “with the exception of a judicial election they hijacked in Iowa, NOM lost its most expensive and high-profile gambits in California and New Hampshire and all of its races in Maine and the District of Columbia. And it fought campaign finance laws all along the way.

“NOM lost signature battles for governor in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, lost both the gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races in California, and its star candidate there, Andy Pugno, vying for State Assembly, lost. On the other side of the ledger, NOM was successful in ousting three Iowa Supreme Court justices by spending more than $600,000 and hijacking a retention election that generally attracts little notice or money.”
