Brown, Coakley, or Acorn?

When I was dabbling in politics we worried about vote fraud in Massachusetts almost as much as Chicago.

Will Acorn and the remnants of the Kennedy machine thumb the Coakley side of the scale heavily? *

I don't, of course, know, but I hope the national Republican apparatus has set aside a lot of money for EDO-- election day operations -- to include nimble poll watchers with Hawking-like brains and large brass wedding tackle. It is a given that the NRSC has quick-draw legal help on call, and this is one of the times we should declare a moratorium on lawyer snark.

*The "heavily" is important. They'll cheat a little, but, of course, so will the other side. Small-time vote fraud is universal and generally self-canceling.
