If the Russians were in Atlanta, Georgia this might be a crisis  to some Americans. Sure, this is a crisis for politicians and newspapers; that's their jobs and if there were no crises why would we need them. I am not in America now but I would guess that that other Georgia, the one in Europe is not nearly as much a crisis to most Americans as is $4 gasoline, and that this little outburst will have no effect on the American election which is almost three months from now.

I'd like to think this is true.  However Obama's poll numbers have already taken a down turn to 1 and 3% leads in Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls.  Georgia sure isn't going to help him.

I think the national poll numbers have been steady for the month of August. Obama's been on average 3 points ahead on the Gallup and one or two points ahead on Rasmussen. But I know you realize that national poll numbers mean nothing. We really need to study the the state by state leads. Kos has a front page piece today on the estimated electoral vote situation.

Glad to you you share in my frustration Frank. :)
