He goes on to say that "This week, most of the polls show the race essentially deadlocked, but with some polls showing McCain ahead and a few still showing Obama ahead. In most cases the polls are still within the margin of error.

In a special article for the paper, he outlines the implications of the recent violence:</span></p><blockquote><p>The invasion of Georgia is not just a struggle over South Ossetia. It's a one-sided war, with Russia using Georgia to achieve a number of politically important goals. </p> <p>First, the invasion will weaken, if not altogether destroy, the current Georgian state and its government. </p> <p>Second, it will send a very clear message to Western powers, particularly the United States, that Russia is back as the major force in this part of the world. </p> <p>Third, other small countries neighboring Russia can observe the potential cost of standing up to Russia and the inability of the West to offer much more than verbal support.</p></blockquote><p> Lincoln A. Mitchell is the Arnold A. Saltzman assistant professor in the practice of international politics at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and author of the upcoming book <em><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14528.html">Uncertain Democracy: U.S. Foreign Policy and Georgia's Rose Revolution</a></em>. </p> </div> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted by PennPress on August 14, 2008 at 12:25 PM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/current_affairs/">Current Affairs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/european_world_history/">European & World History</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/foreign_policy/">Foreign Policy</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/human_rights_law/">Human Rights & Law</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/podcasts/">Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/political_science/">Political Science</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/television/">Television</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/08/more-analysis-o.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/08/more-analysis-o.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p>   </div> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-54083624"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080923225218/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/08/lincoln-mitchel.html">Lincoln Mitchell Discusses Georgian Crisis on NPR</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p>Lincoln A.
