I guess nothing is off-limits when it comes to winning these elections. Putin gets blunt and even suggests the US elections had a role in the Georgia conflict!

Putin blames the US for Georgia role

Mr Putin added: "The American side in effect armed and trained the Georgian army.

"Why... seek a difficult compromise solution in the peacekeeping process? It is easier to arm one of the sides and provoke it into killing another side. And the job is done.

"The suspicion arises that someone in the United States especially created this conflict with the aim of making the situation more tense and creating a competitive advantage for one of the candidates fighting for the post of US president."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino rejected the allegation.

This time, at least, Ohio has a Democratic governor and secretary of state. Blackwell was an amazing sleazeball who many Republicans couldn't even stand, even though they nominated him for governor. As much a matter of exhaustion from 16 years of non-governing as anything else. Not unlike McCain's nomination in some ways, in fact.
