I am certain that the RNC has indeed learned nothing, and in 2012 will field candidates of the quality of McCain and Scozzafava. About one week prior to the scumbag specter's return to the darkside, John Cornyn announced his support and endorsement of him. That was about a week after his ringing endorsement of Gov. Crist. Cornyn is one of the guiding lites of the RNC.
Acorn had success with massive registrations of fictitious individuals, but still had to do something like 103% voter turnout in some districts.
If they can register everyone to vote, they can manufacture votes at will.
I also saw that they're pushing for allowing convicted felons to vote.
