goodbye, and good riddance

The Johns, back in the halcyon days of summer.

Gerard Van der Leun wrote this back in September, but methinks that the final truth is settling in on the faithful only now:

The single and only internal reason that things are now seen to be going badly inside the Kerry campaign is that deep inside the Kerry campaign, in the very core of the candidate himself, the have seen the fiery finger of fate write in glowing and deeply etched letters the single word: LOSER.

That's right — down in the center where the Kerryites are sifting their statistics and spreadsheets and seeding their spin they already know what most of us are just beginning to sense— THEY'VE LOST AND THERE IS NOTHING, BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

In other news: I had better be right about this, 'cause otherwise the climbdown is gonna be something fierce.

Be back in a few hours.
