I think they're trying to say Kerry won but don't want to because they don't want to get deluged by letters calling them liberal. (No 'liberal' newspaper would run Thomas Sowell and John Leo on the very same day. This paper does.)

1. a mischaracterization:

"If Bush is a hothead who can't tolerate criticism, the volatile megalomaniac was nowhere in evidence during the debate."

2. I think they are preparing their knuckledragging readers

for defeat.
