A little 15 second snippet…repeatedly broadcast would have the wingnuts blowing their neural circuitry out. All of their “Don’t trust Obama, he’s dangerous.” meme would undercut by McCain himself.

He has finally realized that he will probably have to go back to work in the Senate, and he has burned a lot of bridges during this campaign. It will be very uncomfortable for him, so he finally had to redefine his rhetoric.</p> Hmmm…Chris Matthews just showed more of the same clip and another in which one of his audience said Obama is an Arab, and John McLame took the microphone back and said no, he’s not, he’s a decent man, a family man.

A lot about fraudulent registrations, nothing about ACORN ID’ing them. Really observant viewers could see, however, that a fraudulent card pulled out of a box had a “rejected” sticky on it.</p> CBS on ACORN – interviewees claiming pressure to produce 25 cards/day.
