All of a sudden, this 'wrong war at the wrong time' will be called America's noble mission and Kerry will be propped up like some kind of hero.
This doesn't mean that things will start going better, it just means we will finally hear the good news, which will give the appearance of it going better.

I think you're too entrenched with the idea that news equates partisanship. This is an election year, and certainly it does in that regard. But once the election is over, all bets are off. Do you remember how the so-called liberal media treated Carter in '79? How about Clinton during the Monica scandal?
The idea is this: if Kerry does win, he'll do no better at the final resolution of this war than Bush. I truly can't see militia putting down their weapons because JFK says so, and we will never pull out of their - at least not in the next ten years. Thus, Kerry's hands are tied. Pundits will lambast him for not having a plan, or if he does have a plan, not executing it well. He's no more immune to the media than anyone else.
The media's waiting for him. They're lurking...
