#1 Remember this name. Community Organizations International, or COI. Remember that new name. Remember that new acronym. Nothing has changed.

The 'weeping' is for 'show', only.

#2 My predictions:
-ACORN-US: replaced by a 'shadow leadership' for coordination
-Money moved about via SEIU
-No big change except the possibility of defeat in detail; but it would be a hard slog
-Note they mention the New York office, not Chicago. Obama will be shielded from his contact with them

#3 BigGovernment.com has an article about the name changes of the local ACORN affiliates. Things are different, now that the alternative media can get the news out via the internet. I don't think the ACORN central committee members are quite up to speed on the implications.

#4 Oh, and the above-linked article is highlighted in red on Drudge, which as I recall gets considerably more views than the New York Times, nowadays.
