Obama Campaign Was Recruiting For ACORN

If the Obama Campaign has nothing to Do with ACORN Then why was Obama in Ohio Sending out notices to Ohio Bloggers asking them to recruit voting canvassers? Back in February '08 this "ACORN is Hiring" post was featured on the prominant Ohio blog (and Obama supporter) Writes Like She Talks:

Application info: Ohio ACORN GOTV effort for Obama is hiring canvassers now

From the inbox:

GOTV for Obama! Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign. Ohio ACORN is hiring canvassers to go door to door encouraging voters to vote for Barak Obama.

ACORN is hiring in Cleveland (216)431-3905 , Columbus (614)425-9491, Cincinnati (513)221-1737, for Dayton (call Cincinnati), and for Toledo call Cleveland. Or email polnatoh@acorn.org and your inquiry will be routed to the appropriate person in each of these cities. Intake and training will be held daily at local ACORN offices. Canvass begins on Wednesday Feb. 27th and will work through election day. Please, only persons wishing to work all or most of these days (Saturday and Sunday included) should inquire.

Please do not contact the Obama campaign directly regarding this post as they are not the organization doing the hiring and it will only distract their staff and volunteers from the other important work they are doing on behalf of Senator Obama.

The Obama campaign has acknowledged that it hired ACORN to do registrations in Ohio for the primary. And it is clear that some of the individuals who were paid to register voters made up reigstrations rather than do the work they were paid for. They should be prosecuted. Having non-existent voters on the rolls, however, is less of a threat to the intergrity of the voting process than having real voters wrongly stricken from the rolls, which is clearly occurring with great frequency, as reported this week.
