And the possibility exists that aliens walk among us. Of course, nobody has proof.
Seriously, that's about the worst argument you could possibly make.
It's so damned easy to throw around all sorts of wild theories when you feel no burden to actually prove your point, rather, just a penchant for wild leaps of logic coupled with healthy doses of paranoia and partisanship, but precious little in the way of critical analysis.
The US knew it would be powerless to combat Russia in Georgia in the event of a conflagration and would thus look weak on the international stage. Exactly how does this bolster the McCain campaign? How does this give the impression that McCain would keep the US safe, or safer than his opponent would do? Is McCain playing tough by angling to get involved militarily in Georgia?
Seriously, given how predicatable the outcome in Georgia would be, I want your take on how anyone would have thought it a good strategy to bolster McCain's campaign. Hate him or not, Rove is not so stupid as to have been unaware that Russia would crush Georgia if need be and that the US would be on the sidelines.

The problem with October surprises of that sort is that the fuse can go off too early and is unpredictable in nature.

We heard talk of October surprises in Iran over and over again during the '06 midterms, but it never really panned out, did it.......Why would you bother to dig up an argument that failed last time around?
