What's this? Obama has a history with ACORN? And the Daily Kos is crowing about it like it's some badge of honor. I can't wait for the 527 ads on this guy...they write themselves. ==================== ACORN for OBAMA When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, "I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work." Obama ran Project Vote with the help of ACORN, and I believe his first legal case was representing ACORN. In short Obama has been fighting with ACORN on the issues that matter most for his entire career. But what will they do for him? Ohio ACORN at least is doing something: GOTV for Obama! Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign. Ohio ACORN is hiring canvassers to go door to door encouraging voters to vote for Barack Obama. dailykos.com
