Somebody asked whether it was time for them to throw in the towel; they were exhausted and demoralized. Here is my response...

Fog of war, Sir. Stay the course, the winning or losing of a single battle by no means indicates the outcome of the war. The election battle is still being fought, frankly it’s nearing its zenith... when the dust, smoke, and fog is at its strongest. The worst thing you can do is hide in the foxhole or flee the field, ceding it to the enemy. Now is when you steel the resolve of those in the trenches alongside of you, and prepare for the final command to charge. The fog will clear, and we will know where we stand in light of the rest of the war. HOLD THE LINE!
