Just be persistent. Seattle tried to float a $100bn roads and transit measure that failed spectacularly in 2007, but brought back a $17bn transit-only measure the next year that won by about 10 points, even though all the main movers and shakers from the prior plan said it would be a bad idea to move forward in 2008.
The man who said "not in 2008" just lost re-election as mayor and the man who said "2008 or bust" just got elected as our new mayor.
