Dirty Tricks and Lieberman's Web Site

If you are anywhere near Connecticut, sniff the air. I smell Karl Rove strong and odious and the smell is permeating the state from border to border.


Breaking News is that someone hacked into Sen. Lieberman's web site and took it down!

Oh my it's all over the news. Call's for Lamont to find out who did it. Calls to his harried campaign manager who's trying to explain that they would never condone such an action and never want such a thing to happen -- their concern is to get out the vote and not have something foolish like this take any time away from the hard work they have ahead today.

As a person who's been heavily involved in politics -- no candidate would want this to happen because the only gain in having Lieberman's site taken down is a gain for Lieberman. It serves no purpose to Lamont. It is an unethical way to get voter sympathy and to cast aspersions on the Lamont team.

Really, is this going to be the reason that Lieberman clings to if he's not elected? Well, gosh darn it all, I would have won if someone didn't take down my website.

Any hacker could have done it, I agree, but I would lean towards a Lieberman supporter looking to upstage the news and put the blame on the Lamont camp.

We call this Rovian dirty tricks...and sometimes it can work.

I hope they find out who took the site down. I know it won't be Ned Lamont, he's a bit busy today campaigning. I doubt Joe Lieberman had time to "crack code" today either.

Could it be a Lamont supporter? Sure and it is equally as likely it was done by a Lieberman supporter. Hell, it could have been done by anyone....or it even could be a temporary computer problem that had nothing to do with politics.

Fact is, a web site up or down doesn't determine an election.

Hey is this the one? http://lieberman.senate.gov/

Because it's up. Is this just a media attention getter? You are right, Rove is in the air, all the way over here by the Hudson.
