Amanda Carpenter over at Townhall.com commented today on an announcement of an official partnership between MSNBC (a division of NBC News) and "Election Protection," a coalition of 60+ "non-partisan" organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Law Association, Sierra Club, SEIU and, oh yeah, a little group called the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, better known as ACORN.
Looks like on election night, NBC will be in the position of both making and reporting the news.

Carpenter followed up with MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , 212-664-5133) about ACORN's role but he deferred, saying "this a question for them, not us." Perhaps he needs a little more prodding.
