Mostly responded to over in your journal, but in summary: sniper duels are dramatic, but a poor analogy for a political contest. In the former, you don't choice have a tradeoff between the likelihood of victory and the quality of that potential victory. Marksmanship, cover, equipment... the things that make you more likely to come away with your life also make you more likely to come away healthy and whole. This is very often not the case in politics.

Ask yourself this: if polls convinced you the Republicans had a better than even chance of winning this election and succeeding ones, would you change your political allegiances and join them? If not, then you're acknowledging that winning is not the only thing.
