Here's more, via the Hotline, on the accusation that Lieberman's "political opponents" hacked his site:
Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign plans to ask federal officials to investigate what they call a the "disabling" attack on their campaign website. Sean Smith, posted a statement on the Joe2006 site today.
"For the past 24 hours the Friends for Joe Lieberman's website and email has been totally disrupted and disabled, we believe that this is the result of a coordinated attack by our political opponents. The campaign has notified the US Attorney and the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney and the campaign will be filing a formal complaint reflecting our concerns. The campaign has also notified the State Attorney General Dick Blumenthal for his review.."
And via the Blogometer:
The official Ned Lamont Blog called the accusation delusional: "I post because Marion Steinfels is running around proclaiming that someone hacked her site. This isn't the first time they haven't paid their bills, it happened when the stupid bear-cub ad ran and Sean Smith bragged all the traffic (from people mocking the ad) crashed their site. Same notice. But since the Hotline Blog ran with Marion's story (sort of), I had to post this here because they are undoubtedly peddling the story to other outlets as well. Passing on a different screen shot than the one above, from after they paid their hosting fees."
The Hartford Courant also has the story and notes: "Lieberman's staff offered no evidence that Lamont's supporters were to blame."
