The "Take"

Pyrrhic Defeat?

A Pyrrhic victory is one in which the victor has lost so many assets in attaining the objective, that it is no longer clear that the victory was worth the winning. I am wondering whether the McCain Campaign is engineering a Pyrrhic defeat.

The electoral map increasingly shows that it is now nearly impossible for Senator McCain to salvage a win for the presidency and the Intrade presidential market is now wildly in Senator Obama's favor.

The question is whether the McCain Campaign will begin to exercise leadership and do its best to reign in those in its camp who will have difficulty tolerating a President Obama.

In the face of impending defeat, it appears that the McCain Campaign has decided that it will now do its best to see that an Obama Administration will have a nearly impossible task in bringing us together to confront the real troubles that beset us.

The good news is that it is precisely those unifying skills that a President Obama will bring to the table.

Got hope? I do.
