REACTION TO SENATE VOTE

One of the few media outlets reporting the latest ACORN story is the Times-Picayne (Lousiana) headline: Senate votes to bar funds for ACORN; scandals erode political support

The outcome was so lopsided that supporters did not need the votes of Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who had introduced an amendment identical to Johann's last week, or Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who late in the 2008 presidential campaign accused ACORN of trying to steal the election for Democrat Barack Obama.

The vote was only the latest bad news for ACORN, which advocates for low- and moderate-income families.

While ACORN has long been a center of controversy and a prime Republican target, in the past it could count on stalwart defense from many Democrats.
