For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: will Obama's ties to ACORN impact this election?

In the past week, media have actually reported -- albeit nowhere near as frequently or in as much detail as they should -- some of the deplorable voter registration tactics of ACORN. Will the press continue doing so, and will this have any impact on the upcoming election? Or does the public not care about such irregularities because they see any voter registration as good and any attempt to regulate even illegal registration as an attempt to silence voters?

On the other hand, is it now just about the economy and the financial crisis, and everything else is irrelevant INCLUDING illegal voter registration?
