However, I just read an email from the Human Rights Campaign saying that they feel there are still too many more votes to count in CA to officially call it a loss...in a sense, they believe there may still be hope.

As upset as I am with California voters, this really isn't over yet. And honestly, the voting populous has some a long way from a 61.4% of voter support when it was Prop 22 in 2000 to 52% of voter support now. Legally, these marriages are still valid, and if the state wants to start nullifying these unions, there's going to be hell to pay.
Federal courts are going to see this issue, there is no doubt about it. Lets see what happens when a couple of appointments come from Obama to create a liberal leaning Supreme Court. We've also got a few very strict constructionists like Antonin Scalia and John Roberts, which might be helpful -- Ronald George, the California Supreme Court Chief Justice, is a staunch conservative and strict constructionist and he ruled that gay marriage in CA was unconstitutional.
