'Sarah, have you ever heard of a group called the neo-conservatives and a little thing called The Project For The New American Century?'

'No, but it sure sounds cool!'

'Oh it is. Now listen up, here's what we want you to say...'

Obama also favors NATO membership for Georgia and Ukraine.

 

"Ukraine and Georgia have also been developing their ties with NATO. Their leaders have declared their readiness to advance a NATO Membership Action Plan, MAP, to prepare for the rights and obligations of membership. They are working to consolidate democratic reforms and to undertake new responsibilities in their relationship with the Alliance. I welcome the desire and actions of these countries to seek closer ties with NATO and hope that NATO responds favorably to their request, consistent with its criteria for membership. Whether Ukraine and Georgia ultimately join NATO will be a decision for the members of the alliance and the citizens of those countries, after a period of open and democratic debate. But they should receive our help and encouragement as they continue to develop ties to Atlantic and European institutions." - Barack Obama

Does Obama also casually throw around the possibility of war with Russia?

Latest polls are depressing, eh?  Especially the ones which indicate McCain's growing support among women voters.  If Obama loses, I think "failure to pick Hillary for his running mate" will go down as the biggest error of his campaign.  I almost wish Biden's comments yesterday were some sort of prelude to his stepping down.

The whole point of NATO is mutual defense.

Of course war with Russia is an option.  Russia is too big and too hostile for it not to be.  The worst thing we could do is reassure Russia that we won't go to war with them, regardless of how they treat allies.

McCain breaking even or even pulling ahead in the polls may be the best thing for Obama -- it will let him go back to playing the underdog, something he excels at.  He even tried playing the role after he surpassed Clinton.
