in the long run/ in the short run

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right about my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

I happen to think Manchester is probably right in the long run, but in the short run – meaning the campaign – he’ll get murdered on that issue.

in the long run = eventually, in the end, finally, at the end

in the short run = in the near feature, in the immediate future, in short period of time

in the long run: Information from Answers.com

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V

Vil, your interpretation is correct.
