Report from the Lamont Blogger War Room in CT

[kstewart33]

2:21pm local time from Kirby from FDL
Hello all from the Blogger War Room at Lamont Hotel HQ. The HQ office is across the street, and here in the hotel, we are across the hall from the press room and down the hall from the ballroom where the hotel says the “reception” will be this evening .

Spirits are high and staffers and volunteers are unfailingly polite and not at all decompensating despite the stress and the accusations flying in from the other side.

Jane’s here, along with CTKeith, a reporter from HuffPo, BBC, and laughter abounds.

Maura just called in and reports that in the home precinct of Dan Malloy, one of the gubernatorial candidates, in Stamford, turnout at 1:45p is 31%, and at the Rogers School in Stamford, where turnout is traditionally very low, it was at 18% and poll workers were delighted. Here in my home district in Meriden, 111 of 419 had voted as of 1:15pm, or 26%, which was amazing – they had already run out of “I voted today” stickers.

1. Okay, fess up, who hacked Joe's website?

It appears that Ned Lamont is finally calling off his DOS dogs. A day late and rather short on contrition, in my opinion.

After last week’s stunt with his attack hound Jane Hamsher and the blackface picture she pulled at his request, it’s amazing that he would think he could escape responsibility for this one. Worse yet his campaign’s official line that his faithful pitbull bloggers reliably echoed was that the Lieberman campaign wasn’t paying the bills.

[Caution]

3. I confess. I had nothing to do with it and anyone who thinks

anyone is Lamont's campaign sanctioned it has a screw loose. All of the polls show Lamont with the lead, doing something illegal and risky would be just stupid and to this point only one campaign has shown itself to do stupid things.

[Don Claybrook]

7. Anyone who thinks Lamont didn't hack the website

has obviously forgotten the lessons of 9/11, and at your peril.

(yes, sarcasm)

6. Is there any allegation that you've posted on DU substantiated is any way?

To date, you have provided NO proof of your scurrilous allegations. :shrug:

8. I'm guessing it was you.

:hi:

15. Either provide some corroboration, or give it a frickin' REST already.

Your ridiculous LieberGanda becomes tiresome for many of
us here in the 'reality-based' community.

[Tempest]

20. It appears your tin foil hat is on too tight

You don't get a message from the hosting company that the account has been suspended because of a DOS attack. Any high school freshman can tell you that.


And once again you have made the claim that Lieberman's campaign made the payment without proof.

And once again I am asking you to provide that proof.

[KurtNYC]

26. A bit late for a baseless smear campaign isn't it?

Or is this the beginning of the excuses part?

[Torgo Johnson]

29. Here is the Lamont campaign's official statement.

If Senator Lieberman’s website was indeed hacked, we had absolutely no part in it, denounce the action, and urge whoever is responsible cease and desist immediately. It is our sincerest wish that everyone planning to vote for Ned Lamont or Joe Lieberman does so today.

Tim Tagaris
Internet Communications Director
Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate

I don't see anything about "not paying the bills" in that statement? Do you David?

[fishwax]

37. it was somebody from joe's campaign

or perhaps you have some evidence to back up your accusations ...

2. I'm all for bloggers but

I hope they were out knocking on doors in the morning. This is election day.

4. Joe knows that

all he needs to do is cast doubt on Ned and his (and his supporter's) ethics and he can hurt his chances. Very Karl Rovian of him, doncha think? Only the simple-minded among us fall for it ... and I sure hope that CT voters are smarter than that!

[adarling]

9. awesome on the turnout!

i wish most elections were like this to get people to the polls and realize how important it is to vote. I am 23 and i love and cherish my voting power. Now that i am done with school and hopefully moving from my permanent address in Texas to Florida, my vote will really impact more there.

12. I know that the FBI is investigating and will likely catch the felons.

16. you seem to know everything

So which was it, a ddos attack or a buffer overflow attack? I've seen stuff indicating either, or both.

Will the FBI check to see if it was taken down internally?

[The Deacon]

17. Proof?

Some news story or press release that the FBI would investigate something they have no authority over?

[David Dunham]

18. Lieberman asked for the FBI and Bush will send them in.

[The Deacon]

21. Source?

[myrna minx]

24. Don't bother.

He's been spamming all over the place. He's proven nothing...just drive-bys...

28. It was obviously the work of Hizb'allah

... working under the 'cover' of the Lamont campaign. Ned wants to push Joe into the sea. :eyes:

[Tempest]

31. LOFL!

I nominate TahitiNut's post as the defining post on this issue.

[annabanana]

33. I love you, TahitiNut

I really do, you tropicalifornicatedfruitcake you!
