Dave,

I don't know if any of your tech-savvy readership has been following the
kerfuffle in Connecticut over the Dem primary -- Sen. Lieberman charges
shadowy Lamont forces "hacked" his web site; bloggers dig up a  
growing pile
of circumstantial evidence pointing to missteps by Lieberman's own  
campaign
-- but I would very much like to hear thoughts from anyone who has been
following this.

Best,

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Officials with U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman's re-election
campaign blamed "dirty politics" and "Rovian tactics" for what they  
said was
an online attack on their Web site as Connecticut voters headed to  
the polls
Tuesday.

The Web site, http://www.joe2006.comexternal link, has been unavailable
since Monday afternoon. Lieberman campaign manager Sean Smith  
suggested that
the campaign of the senator's primary opponent, Ned Lamont, or his
supporters were responsible for the disruption. . . .
