"By A Long Shot" And "Not By A Long Shot"

  • This isn't over by a long shot and how it plays out in 2011 is anyone's guess.

Could I turn it into this with the meaning not affected: "This isn't over not by a long shot and how it plays out in 2011 is anyone's guess."

SanjiFanboy Could I turn it into this with the meaning not affected: without affecting the meaning? Not without changing the punctuation. Use this: This isn't over — not by a long shot — and how it plays out in 2011 is anyone's guess.
