Florida may do battle with ACORN

The tidal wave of controversy over ACORN swept rapidly through Florida on Thursday with dozens of angry people contacting Gov. Charlie Crist's office and his political rival questioning his ties to the organization.

A high-ranking Florida House Republican, meanwhile, said the Legislature could take its own action against the national community organizing group, whose reputation has been severely damaged by hidden-camera videos showing its workers giving tax advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and her pimp.

``The gig is up for ACORN,'' said state Rep. Adam Hasner, R-Boca Raton, a longtime critic of the group, which helped register hundreds of thousands of voters nationwide before the 2008 election.
