If ACORN had influence in the Minnesota election of Al Franken, could they also have influenced the presidential election?

When I travel through Minnesota

I am relieved that Secretary Vilsack recognized the urgency of the situation here on our farms in Northern Minnesota
I love how the Future of Music Coalition gives exposure to new artists like Mike ... I've had my eye on these guys R.E.M. And you watch out, they are going to take off.

I love this country ... But you have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its Mommy.
