For The Record…
(I) I don’t know if the Lieberman site being down is a DOS attack or a technical issue (though DOS makes the most sense to me), but even if it is technical, I’m not going to let Kos get away with moving the goal posts.
Will the Lieberman campaign reimburse state and federal investigators wasting resources to confirm that the site went down because the campaign was too cheap to hire a quality hosting provider?
Here he was earlier in the day:
The campaign is so freakin’ incompetent that they can’t even pay their hosting bills on time. And, when busted, they cast about for blame elsewhere.
That ain’t the same, as even a five-year-old can see. Unlike Kos, if proven wrong on the DOS hunch, I’ll prominently say so.
(II) My gut tells me Ned Lamont will still win this thing. Lieberman had too far to go, and waited too long to do it. But the win will be narrow, and he will file to run as an Independent. After that, my crystal ball gets a bit hazy…
I think I am more shocked that the Message Messiah KOS has run through some many tortured, lame responses. These people have had since yesterday to respond to this and if the people-powered internet guru had any real true political acumen he would realize just a straight up denunciation of the possibility it was multiple DOS attacks just sucked period, no matter whose site. Talk about making matters worse. This really is a lab experiment for November. I am sure their are plenty of campaigns watching this and realizing they need to step away from “the blogs”
OK, this is what I want, a Leiberman independent run, but I just can’t shake the feeling Hamsher blew it. Not so much the image, she just pulled back the curtain for CT voters where Lamonts grass-roots energy was coming from. I keep saying this, but I don’t think voters like the idea of out-of-state activist meddling in their state campaigns. They like that grass-roots fire to be homegrown and particularly with a Neophyte. Lamont’s “I know nothing” was really “I want CT to no nothing about my involvement with the blogs”
I don’t think more than .001 of the electorate has any clue who Hamsher is.
