First Rule: When You're In a Hole...

...stop digging...

This is why John Kerry has always been doomed to lose. I, and others, pointed out immediately after the debate that the "global test" comment was going to wind up hurting him. I joined Hugh Hewitt in saying that although Kerry scored short-term points with his debate style, the debate was going to wind up being a net negative for him because of the "global test" and other blunders he made.

So how does Kerry repair the damage? By digging in deeper, of course! Now it's not enough to meet the "global test" now we have to meet the test not only "in the globe, but elsewhere."

Stop and soak that in for a moment...."elsewhere"...

Ahhh....smells like victory to me....
