I think the focus on this needs to be not so much on the "clerical error" -- easily explained away -- but on the fact that he paid that much to a corrupt organization that is involved in voter fraud all across the country.
Somthing like this from McCain might be nice: "Americans all across the country are enraged right now by the blatant voter fraud apparently being carried out under their noses by this ACORN group that you are so cozy with. So why did you pay them $800,000? $800,000!!! Almost a million dollars to a corrupt organization now being investigated in dozens of states? What did you get for that money, Barack? The American people demand to know."

This paragraph sticks out like a sore thumb.
A Trib analysis of campaign finance reports showed Obama paid CSI for services that stood out as unusual. For example, CSI received payments of $63,000 and $75,000 for advance work. Excluding the large payments to CSI, the average amount the Obama campaign spent with other organizations was $558.82 per check on more than 1,200 entries classified as advance work.

Sarah Palin is the true “October surprise”. She is going to surprise and shock the libs, the MSM, and Obama. She is willing to tell the truth about Obama straight up, as it should be told.

Well let’s see 800,000 here and another state perhaps 500,000 there and then add another 15 or 20 states just like this incident.
Obama is dirty. Taking illegal money from foreign sources and the playing games with Acorn.
When will Americans wake up. Obama will do anything to steal this election and the democrats are the same way. This is beginning to be class warfare.
Where is America headed?

“Hope” I don’t mind. It’s “Fundamental Change” that has me concerned.

Settlement...to settle a fair housing case.So, Andrew Cuomo, Mafiosi Housing Secretary under X-42, The Cigarman, was bragging about how his goons put the squeeze on a bank in Texas and forced it to pay $2 billion after the Feds sued them for not making loans to lousy credit risks. Unfrickin' believable! And, after 8 years of GW Bush, these guys get away with it?!

Howcome when a demRat ‘fails to disclose’ it’s only an oversight but if a pubbie it’s off with their heads? (Rhetorical)
This is topical - frosting on the ACORN story cake. Let’s get it out to our media list. You know the formula:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/election/s_584284.html
The office people that screen the emails only pass them on when they get X-amount on a given subject.
So this is OUR part - WE the PEOPLE - in protecting our freedoms.
hannity@foxnews.com
oreilly@foxnews.com
Special@foxnews.com
ElRushbo@eibnet.com
ontherecord@foxnews.com
letter@charleskrauthammer.com
me@glennbeck.com
and the McC/Sarah campaign at:
info@McCainPalinVictory2008.com
Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won’t read them.
IMPORTANT when emailing. they wont read mass emails - SO,
put just one email add in the to line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name - and in the subject line make reference to ACORN $800,000 OBAMA
Lets make it happen. This is our part in protecting our freedoms = WE THE PEOPLE - we act now or get ready for Jack Boots and Brown Shirts...Obama already has his personal police force plans ready
copy the email addresses for use for the rest of the campaign

yes - good point, and I can assume it is safe to point out that 100% of these “votes” were going to Obama.
This all makes me chuckle when I think of how Bush was accused of “stealing” 2000 just because he kept winning the recounts.
To: FlingWingFlyer
im sure this is the tip of the iceburge and promises of fed money were made also. but who will report it.

800 thousand dollars is minor compared to the cost of an illegal war in Iraq, a war supported by John McCain.
(Just thought I’d write the MSM angle.)

I’m eagerly awaiting those huge, breathtakingly revealing editorials in the N.Y. Times and the WashPo decryng Obama’s connections with Franklin Raines, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and ACORN. Patrick Oliphant and Lew Wasserman will have cartoons depicting Obama in a pit with the rest of those clowns and the slime up their rotten necks. Sure, that will happen real soon. (smirk)
