I know many liberals that are obsessively neat and conservatives that are quite messy. However, the notion that liberal and conservative are even that distinct anymore is questionable. In a fiscal sense, there are true conservatives in office anymore- as one of our most "conservative" presidents, George W. Bush has made the largest spending increase in history and racked up the largest deficit in history. Spending wildly while cutting taxes is not conservative. Likewise, social conservatives are no better than big government liberals with their push for government intrusion into people's personal lives.
I'm not sure what the big deal with fake registrations- these workers may file fake names to get paid but it doesn't affect the election unless someone tries to vote as "Daffy Duck" or a member of the Cowboys football team. That gets dicey with mail in ballots but you'd think as these things are processed, workers will find them.
Both candidates have been linked to ACORN, so I'm not sure why the McCain campaign is trying to make it a democratic issue. Republicans have had their own issues with election day mischief, a la Allen Raymond.
