Much as the defenders of Bataan pinned their hopes on a resurrected Pacific fleet sailing into Manila harbor to reinforce them, the Islamo-Fascists may well be counting on Kerry-Edwards and “hope is on the way” (stolen from Lileks).
This is a little something else to think about before you pull that lever or punch that hole or whatever on November 2.
