Telegraph Blogs - Gerald Warner - Obama could be a worse casualty of Georgia crisis than Saakashvili

The Georgia crisis could determine the outcome of the American presidential election. For John McCain it is a God-send. Any commentator rashly oblivious to the doctrine of “Events, dear boy, events” would have bet the farm on this election being pre-eminently in the category “It’s the economy, stupid” and John McCain is not one of nature’s number crunchers. So an international crisis that is not merely diplomatic but an actual shooting war, in which the United States is intimately involved, is manna from heaven for McCain.

Too bad for McCain it’s only August. The election is weeks and weeks away.
