play into the perception that he's a fringe candidate.

And she may have overplayed her hand with this latest supposedly clever stunt of hers.

nonsense you've shown your ass.

"chicanery" then. "Dirty tricks". However you phrase it: DWS is overplaying her hand. And her game was rigged and ugly to begin with.

the party's vendor opened the door, just like in Florida's governor's race in 2002 when Jeb Bush got the McBride race info, and sent an email to all the dem supporters of McBride saying 'hello from Jeb!'. A complaint was filed and the campaign was told, the software vendor made an error during an update leaving the firewall down. They said it was our party's fault. Case closed. Now, after all of these years, why has DWS not found a worker YET who can safely work the NGP software??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
And blame Bernie?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

For using that term when talking about a female Democrat?

But I realise the two-word combination has become tainted. I'll use "dirty tricks" or "game-rigging" in the future.

Good bye.

And I have been made aware of past implications of these this particular two-word combination. I'll use "dirty tricks" or "game-rigging" in the future. DWS is disgusting enough that there is a whole string of ways to express indigation about her actions. "stunt" will be avoided in future responses.

I feel sorry for you.

Please proceed!

There are all kinds of claims being floated that the Bernie Sanders campaign was involved in a conspiracy to steal data from the Hillary campaign. It is quite ironic that you accuse the OP of being a conspiracy theorist while Hillary supporters are accusing the Bernie campaign of a conspiracy.

that access working both ways. If that was the case, why?

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251909741 .

This is the fault of the party and who THEY hired to do the software maintenance during the campaigns! If they want to punish Bernie, who's campaign did NOTHING wrong, don't look for voters, outside of her personal candidate. That translates into don't look for a win.

DWS is E V I L.

and the "maintenance" should be performed during off-peak hours to ensure minimal downtime for their clients.

Don't worry, everyone will be reaching these conclusions in due time. This will backfire on Team Clinton.

The NGP's CEO's claim that this was a "brief, isolated incident"directly contradicts the Sanders camp's contention that they'd reported the firewall breakdown before. Given that NGP had to be informed of the latest breakdown by the Sanders camp, among other reasons, I think I prefer the Sanders version.

Could Sanders seek a TRO suspending ALL the candidates' access to the VAN, until the integrity of the system has been established?

A software expert might be able to discredit the plausibility of the NGP CEO's claims that the incident was isolated and that ONLY the Sanders camp could have benefitted from the breakdown. And staffers who were aware of prior breakdowns and their reports to NGP could testify to those.

around to see if it sticks...........

This incident will be used to claim all politicians are equally untrustworthy.

One of them has been fired. They're investigating to see if anything was copied, and presumably to see if they can figure out who the other three are...?

I can't imagine Sanders, Clinton OR O'Malley digging around in an opponent's details. I suspect none of them are sufficiently tech-savvy to do such a thing, and I don't think they'd compromise their integrity even if they were tech-savvy.

I can imagine staffers with an "anything to win" mentality doing just that, though--who wouldn't want to take their ill-paid "temp job," in essence, and turn it into a well paid, government salaried, PERMANENT one (for four to eight years, at any rate--and the smart worker transitions to GS at the six year mark). The temptations are enormous--it's a grab at the brass ring. People will compromise themselves.

An investigation will sort it out--it can't take all that long, I'm sure.
