Secession? We heard some of that when Bush got re-elected. A few samples:

Vermont

MSNBC's John Mclaughlin (!) (by the way, Buchanan is kind of an idiot, too.)

Washington Times article

There's probably more, of course. Heck, we did the whole "Jesusland" thing right here. There just wasn't a handy "build your own petition" site back then to get idiots all worked up.

ACORN dead?

ACORN is doing just fine, thank you. They disbanded their groups, and immediately created new ones. If anyone is interested in the details, there's a spreadsheet link there with the information.

They didn't even work that hard at it. Some of these groups have the same addresses they had before, the same people working there, and sometimes even the same tax ID number.

Someone pointed this out when Kevin Drum was laughing about those silly Republicans who don't think ACORN is dead. The response from a commenter: "But I don't see anything about them stealing the election from Romney, do you?" The goal posts? Out in the parking lot. Go look.
