Dem Backer Hacks CBSNews.com
The struggling presidential campaign of Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich got a brief boost from an unidentified hacker Friday when a pro-Kucinich advertisement took over CBSNews.com.

The Kucinich campaign denied involvement.

At around 9:30 a.m. a page bearing the Kucinich campaign logo appeared in place of the CBSNews.com homepage.

The screen automatically shifted to a page playing a 30-minute video called "This Is The Moment,"

4. I'm gonna doubt
that it was actually a Kucinich supporter. We're not running the campaign this way. But then again, every group has its goofballs. :eyes:
