1. To ACORN'S credit
they were the ones who noticed the problems themselves. This did not come from some external investigation, so I think they come out of this okay. Unfortunately there's the spin...

2. I don't know
but someone from the McCain campaign was on with Andrea Mitchell whining about it, and Andrea said "To be clear, this is registration fraud, there are things in place that prevent actual voter fraud from happening on election day" and the guy started off on "it overloads the system" and "stuffing the ballot box"(!), and claims that there was one early vote in Ohio that went through for a person who was not registered. Um, ok, but you KNOW about the early vote from the person who was not registered? They are just setting it up to delegitimize an Obama win.

4. No shit...
Here they are trying to purge the rolls of legitimate voters, and along comes ACORN with a whole bunch of fake names. It's screwing up their whole system.

3. McCain is going to drop this line of attack

at the 1:55 mark, it shows in glaring detail why McCain is praying ACORN is quietly forgotten.
