Unless Putin and Medvedev prefer McCain, I would hope that they will content themselves with digesting Abkhazia and S. Ossetia until January.  Knowledge of the US role in that fiasco is starting to seep out even in Arkansas.  Today there was an LTE in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette that made many of the points you just did, absent mention of George Soros.

Bringing such things up during an election in the US can be problematic.  I do think that it could be effective to challenge McCain's judgement in relying on a known lobbyist for foreign governments including Georgia and who was a supporter of Ahmed Chalabi and a conduit for his lies.  

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Also note that US Congressional comments to Saak about NATO are hardly sufficient to get NATO protection for Georgia.  I would hope that European NATO members would continue to oppose such a move.
