That's correct. And, in observation of the reality of the political fight today, you WIN a battle at a time, and cannot expect to win the war in one skirmish. When the enemy has supperior or equal numbers, you organize your efforts and resources to attack with sufficient force to inflict damage, then re-group, and gain more strength for the next battle.

Sometimes, the all-out frontal assault is NOT the best battle plan. Patience and resolve can buy time to strike and inflict damage, but we cannot afford to suffer more losses anymore. We have to take the best we have, and use it to advantage strategically.

I do not agree with that, it sounds good, but we will not win without all the voters that voted in 2004. Kerry came close and he was a total buffoon.

That is just the way it is.

I myself was not impressed with this debate. It didn’t do much for any of them. Mostly because the economy is never the top issue in an election year, unless it is bad like during the Carter years.

We are yet awaiting that one debate that will set people aside, the make or break moment. I fear it will not happen unless we have Gop moderators that can hit on important GOP issues.
