A lot of people are in a full panic about the FISA vote, but I think as we saw with Habeus Corpus there is still hope that this will be overturned in the courts.
If Obama is elected, he will get to appoint 4-5 new supreme court justices, and the new supreme court is not going to allow telco immunity to stand anyway.
So in my opinion this issue is being used by the conservative corporate media as a wedge they are trying to drive into the Democratic base. They know we are united behind our mutual dislike of the Bush Republicans and that they need to do something to divide us, so they are trumpeting these wedge issues to make Obama's supporters turn against him.
All this does is help John McSame, which is what the corporate media wants, because then they get to cover a "War" for the next 100 years.
