And I want to highlight this bit from Glenn:The most important value of victories of this sort is that they ought to serve as a potent tonic against defeatism, regardless of the ultimate outcome.

Yesterday's victory, temporary as it is, shouldn't be over-stated, but it also shouldn't be minimized. |
