This rundown of why a vote on unemployment insurance benefits was delayed by five weeksseems like a nadir in the War on ACORN. Accordingto Ryan Grim, the GOP objected to an early vote because they “were trying to introduce unrelated amendments attacking ACORN and the financial-industry bailout, among other things.”
There are two echoes here of the just-concluded elections. The first: Republicans out-and-out claimed that ACORN was on the ground in NY-23, and though the group’s credibility has been seriously challenged in recent months, they deny having had any boots on the ground up there. The second: Many Democrats believe that failed Virginia gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds blundered in not making an issue out of Republican-led delays in unemployment benefit money, and Governor-elect Bob McDonnell’s role in this. Here are two examples of Democrats really ceding the narrative to aggressive and strategic conservatives.
