That is what we are going to hear from the Obama Campaign from here until November 4th. They are hanging on for dear life between now and election day hoping the MSM won't make a big deal out out their corrupt connections to the community organizer--ACORN (the same folks who brought America the mortgage meltdown).
The same way they have tried to bring down the financial industry ACORN is actively working to promote their candidate Barack Obama who will wreck America if he is elected. Now is the time for Republicans to rise up and fight for America.
Like 2004 until the McCain Campaign can fully get the guns pointed in the right direction we the GRASSROOTS of the Republican Party must unite and get the message out to other party loyal, Independents and enlightened Democrats.
PLEASE pass this on............

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's campaign distanced itself Thursday from its $800,000 payment linked to the liberal ACORN organization, which is under investigation in several states where it is suspected of filing fraudulent voter registrations.
Federal Election Commission reports show ACORN-affiliated Citizens Services Inc. got $832,598 from the Obama campaign for get-out-the-vote work during the primaries. ...
The elections board in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, is reviewing about 65,000 voter cards submitted by ACORN after flagging 50 cards filled out for duplicate names, fictitious addresses, noncitizens and recycled names and addresses of currently registered voters, said board spokesman Mike West.
Similar probes reportedly are under way in other large Ohio counties.
Citizen Services is inextricably tied to ACORN. Along with nonprofit sister organization Project Vote, Citizens Services and ACORN share the same New Orleans address and the same executive staff while money flows freely between the three entities. In 1996, Project Vote's tax returns show it paid ACORN more than $4.6 million for campaign services and Citizens Services more than $779,000 for legal and administrative services.
The ACORN political action committee endorsed Mr. Obama for president.
Its national voter-registration drive - which is targeting low-income, minority and young voters who tend to vote Democrat and likely favor Mr. Obama at the polls - is implicated in investigations of bogus voter applications in a dozen states, many of them battlegrounds. ...
In the swing state of Michigan, Oakland County election officials found more than 33,000 duplicate registrations, about two-thirds of new applications since August. In some cases, the same name was registered scores of times and in different jurisdictions, and ACORN canvassers submitted most of those applications. ....
New Mexico officials said they forwarded fraudulent voter registrations involving ACORN to the U.S. Department of Justice, which would neither confirm nor deny a voting rights investigation of the group.
In Pennsylvania, a must-win state for Mr. Obama, Philadelphia voter registration administrator Bob Lee said the state attorney general has been alerted to more than 800 applications with false addresses - all of them submitted by ACORN. ...
The group's voter-registration work is under investigation in Nevada, Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin and Connecticut, where election officials in Bridgeport flagged about 2,000 fraudulent applications for fake addresses, fake people and even one misrepresenting a 7-year-old girl as being 27. ...
