POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Web developer at center of miniscandal (Lieberman)

[NVMojo]

A Las Vegas web developer was at the center of a mini-scandal in the last hours of last week's high-profile Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Connecticut.

Dan Geary, the developer of Sen. Joe Lieberman's Web site, www.Joe2006.com, on Tuesday came under fire from feisty anti-Lieberman bloggers after he blamed the Web site's crash on a hacker attack, possibly on the part of allies of Lieberman opponent Ned Lamont.

Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice presidential nominee, lost Tuesday's primary after Lamont, a businessman, attacked his ongoing support for the Iraq war. Lamont's campaign largely was fueled by the "net roots" of anti-war online activists.

After the Lieberman site went down, Lieberman lashed out at Lamont and his supporters, calling on them to "cease and desist."

1. nothing new here

not even comments about alternative causes of the outage. Is there really going to be an investigation?

space on his site? Joe is a fool as well as a sore loser and liar.
