Defeating "Leftwing Triumphalists"

From William Kristol:

"(W)we hope for a McCain-Palin victory, for the sake of the country.
And also for the pleasure of seeing the dejection of the mainstream
media, the incredulity of the leftwing triumphalists, and the
humiliation of the pathetically opportunistic "conservatives" who've
been desperately clambering on board the Obama juggernaut. We're
proud to stay off that juggernaut. We're proud, in our modest way, to
stand with John McCain and Sarah Palin against it.

An Obama-Biden administration--working with a Democratic Congress--
would mean a more debilitating nanny state at home and a weaker
nation facing our enemies abroad. We, of course, have confidence that
the nation would survive such an interlude, and we would even hope
that a President Obama might adjust course from the path he's
advertised, especially in foreign policy. But the risk of real damage
is great, especially when compared with the prospect of a tough-
minded center-right McCain-Palin administration that could lead the
country sensibly through these difficult times.

Reading the endorsements of Obama in the liberal media should
strengthen the determination of all believers in American self-
government and greatness to fight this election campaign to the end.
Time magazine's Joe Klein tells us that Obama "seems a grown-up, in a
nation that badly needs some adult supervision." To the contrary, we
are a nation of adults. We don't need the "supervision" of a
conventionally liberal and totally untested junior senator whose most
impressive lifetime achievement has been the construction of an
effective narrative about himself."
