It's as if Russia started a shooting war with Georgia over it's province of Ossetia just to help John McCain's candidacy.
Judging from remarks from both US Presidential candidates, this event has handed McCain the kind of issue that he can ride to the Oval Office.
While the rookie Senator from Illinois, on vacation, mouthed meaningless platitudes about talking, McCain threatened exiling Russia from the G8. Which is exactly the type of action required.
And the type of action which will alert the American voters to the looming danger of Russia in the energy markets- both financial and physical.
McCain's military background of discipline and familiarity with combat gives one the reassurance that he does not take invasions, or the necessary reactions, lightly.
One imagines Obama suing for peace with the Russians at whatever cost- probably using the UN as his negotiator.
With the Russian invasion of Ossetia in the news this month, it looks like McCain has some major tailwinds for his campaign now.
