It’s official – Obama has won the 2008 election. The actual polls need not even open.
One needs only to follow the simple laws of logic. Modus ponendo ponens holds that in every case where P→Q and P is asserted Q will always hold true. In this case let P=“William Kristol states n” and let Q=”it is necessarily the case that ¬n.” So, the sentence “if William Kristol says n, then it is necessarily the case that ¬n” becomes a familiar instance of modus ponens; P→Q, P, therefore Q. In this instance Kristol states in a New York Times Op-Ed piece that McCain will stand a good chance of defeating Obama in the general election. So, n≈”McCain will win against Obama.” Therefore it is not the case that McCain will win against Obama. Quod erat demonstrandum.
