Election Day antics

Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO's corner (scroll down, fourth item as of 10:15 am Central Time) is reporting that Joe Lieberman's website has crashed.

I just clicked on the link; the site is still down.

Lopez seems convinced that a wingnut hacker is responsible; I'd be hard-pressed to think otherwise.

Watch for this sort of practice to become commonplace in the coming years, with increasing sophistication and viciousness. Texts on candidate's websites will be altered, phony photos inserted, fake rallies advertised. All of this will happen, in an age that will make the Watergate-era antics of (USC alum) Donald Sagretti seem positively primitive by comparison.
