		        <![CDATA[<p>Republicans can kick up all the dust they want.  In the end, people aren't going to see how this affects the process unless someone bothers to explain it in a way that appeals to common sense.</p>

<p>Obviously cartoon characters, and dead people can't vote.  So who's going to show up?  So far I have not heard even one Republican explain that ACORN is going to have to not only register fake people, but also provide them to show up and vote in order for the evil masterplan to work!  Then, is the fruit of all of this labor supposed to hinge on an election in these swing states where a few dozen or even a few hundred votes will make an actual difference?</p>

<p>This exchange between the CNN anchor and reporter can't go any deeper without having to address the difference between registration fraud and actual voter fraud.  And, believe me, while Republicans may actually be stupid enough to try and concoct a way within the next three weeks, there's no way it will hold water and thus, CNN probably won't revisit this.  This was a time-filler.  CNN probably thought they had better say something about it in case the Republicans succeed in raising a big enough stink that it does become bigger and they can say they were in front of it.</p>

<p>Doubtful.</p>]]>
