In other worthwhile ACORN news, here’s a video of John McCain sorrounded by ACORN activists at a immigration rally in Miami in 2006.

Great post. Compelling, and rich.
Michael — That’s funny coming from you big guy. (being as it was your “compelling and rich” post that kicked off this shindig)
But seriously, if Barack Obama’s campaign has to deal with your intimation that he’s guilty by geographic proximity I think it’s worth digging into that a little more. Barack Obama’s MN HQ is close to the Keys Cafe (as well as the Egg and I) and this clearly means that in Barack Obama’s administration a premium will be placed on a nutritious, hearty, family friendly breakfast, and I for one am happy about this.
But, seriously, what is it with you and cameras around breakfast establishments? Has Erik Paulsen been paying you thousands of dollars to stake out where he should go for breakfast the morning after he loses to Ash Madia? If so, I’d recommend Hells Kitchen. Sean
Mhhhm. I love the Keys.
Seriously. It’s the best place in the world. I’ve been going to that Keys for at least a decade, when I want the best food out there, I go to the Keys.
Yum. I love the Keys.
Oh and Barack Obama obviously is too close to the Libertarian Party. Obviously they are collaborating, or something like that.
Keys is kinda expensive for my taste but still really good. Jay’s, on the other side, has really awesome food, too.
It would be nice to shrug this entire ACORN thing off, but the AP is reporting that 200,000 new Ohio registrations have descrepencies. To put that in perspective, 2004’s Ohio election was decided by 120,000 votes.
We’re talking 21 electoral votes well within the margin of question of fraudulent registrations. This is serious business.
Dan — what are discrepancies? The person doing data entry transposing two numbers in someones zip code? An illegible middle initial?
Yeah, if you think about it, it’s not what the Republican party is pushing. Sean
I used to love Keys until I got a horrible case of food poisoning there.
DantheMan, you are better than that. I would expect that kind of garbage from Bordkorb. The discrepencies are the result of small mismatches (middle initials, abbreviated first names, etc) in databases. The travesty is that Republicans are using that to disenfrancise people - Joe Smith doesnt match Joseph J. Smith, so the registration is invalid. The Acorn issue (which is a problem, but affects nowhere near 200,000 registrations) comes from paying their workers per registration. But the people who filled out those fake registrations (i.e., Mickey Mouse, Terrell Owens) aren’t going to vote.
Dan the Man: Look, even plumber Joe has discrepancies in his voter registration.

Funny, eh?
Sean, that is just perfect.
Sean Broom and Dan:
Can we all agree that it is desirable to have accuracies in our voter rolls? And can we agree that having 1/3 of new voter registrations in Ohio with descrepencies is something that should be resolved prior to the election, not in the court system afterward?
My point is not partisan as you suggest. My point is directed toward the pursuit of accuracy.
If, of those 200,000 descrepencies, 100,000 are small errors, 50,000 are false Democrats and 50,000 are false Republicans, fine. At least we got it sorted out. But in a state where the margin of victory may well be 100,000 votes, it does need to be sorted out.
I’m surprised that you are advocating for letting it slide. I don’t know anyone who can disagree with the desire for accuracy. Contrary to popular belief, some Republicans don’t like elections being decided in the courts.
DantheMan, sometimes I think you are a reasonble person, and then we get posts like this where you remind us what a dishonest partisan hack you really are.
The 600,000 all came from database discrepencies, and the problem is that it will be nearly impossible to check them all. And that is exactly what Republicans want - to jam up the system. Voting fraud is a non-issue - the number of cases where people have found to voted illegally (as opposed to registration problems) is miniscule. No one is for “letting it slide”, because there is nothing to let slide. Its a Republican-manufactured issue. The idea that this has anything to do with the “desire for accuracy” is laughable. And you know that very well, but because you are such a lying Republican hack, you’ll keep repeating the Karl Rove bullshit.
Go back to MDE or wherever you came from. Everyone here knows you’re a fraud.
Dan -
I stand by my post, and will restate it in even more simple terms:
Striving for accuracy in elections is a good thing, not a bad thing.
We’ve had two elections — 1960 and 2000, where accuracy was called into question, never fully resolved, and we may well have inaugurated a President who didn’t actually win the election. I don’t see any way someone could be OK with that.
Striving for accuracy in elections is a good thing, but what is happening in Ohio with the 600,000 has absolutely nothing to do with accuracy, and everything to do with the supression of votes. This is similar to the voter purging that occurred in Florida in 2000 - and its certainly not a solution to the Florida problems. By supporting this you are basically endorsing the systematic disenfranchising of minorities that occurred in Florida. This is the problem, not the solution. I don’t see any way someone could be OK with that. Unless you are a shameless liar and racist like you, DantheMan.
