Did lack of public interest save 117?

"A lack of public interest may finally make Senate Bill 117 permanently a law," observes John O'Brien on LEGAL NEWSWIRE. 

O'Brien reports that the petition drive only produced less than 100,000 of the needed 241,366 signatures.  Moreover, it also didn't pass the number of counties test.  In this particular drive, a specified number of names has to represent residents from half of the state's 88 counties.

Question: Why did Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner keep pushing this losing cause?
