CNN's Take on the ACORN/ Obama Connection:

News Type: Event — Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:53 AM EDT

None of this would be a big deal if ACORN really were non-partisan, if Obama hadn't actually contributed just less that $800,000 to this organization, if Barack Obama hadn't represented them in 1994-95 and if in December 2007 he hadn't said he wanted ACORN to come in to "help us shape the [presidential] agenda.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I can already hear Dems saying that this does not prove Obama is to blame blah blah blah.

I predict there will be a "comeuppance" for him and it will be shown he orchestrated these events.

The cases have his mark on them in the sense that they are his style.

I am voting for these, Solomon's Mind.

I am adding you to my watchlist as well and clipping this to my column.

I don't think you belong in the Greenhouse for very long.

I can't believe some people say he had nothing to with ACORN. He was a community organizer (not for ACORN, but their partner) for Project Vote, who is equally to blame for the voter fraud.

SM,

Welcome to Newsvine. Thank you for this find. Can't watch the second one yet, but I'm very impressed with the first, which I had missed when it aired.

I'm joining Festive in clipping to my column as well as other columns pertaining to the election.

I'm glad Fox isn't alone on this issue. ACORN's fraud is a huge deal.

Thank you for the warm welcome, very glad to be here! Feel free to swipe anything I throw up here for your own purposes. My schedule is pretty crazy right now, can't monitor as much as I would like so please forgive anything that duplicates what has already been aired.
