How Long Does It Take To Fix A Website?
Wed night and they still don't have an active site at http://www.joe2006.com/

Just this message:

UPDATE ON THE ATTACK ON THE LIEBERMAN CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

STATEMENT FROM SEAN SMITH: "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."

"We call on Ned Lamont to make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately. Any attempt to suppress voter participation and undermine the voting process on Election Day is deplorable and has no place in our democracy."

2. 10 - 15 minutes if you know what you're doing and you have
good back-up (which means you know what you're doing)

Seems Joe needs some good IT people, too.

11. So maybe this could have been fixed right away on Tuesday
and if it is still down now it might be by....choice *gasp*

But Joe is a moral candidate, he wouldn't do that would he?

6. they haven't finished milking the *hacking* angle yet

7. All of his staff was fired today
So, I guess getting the site up and running isn't a priority right now.

9. From what I read they were not fired as much as they quit
he's trying to make this look like a shakeup when it was really staffers saying once you run as an Independent we're out of here. This has been in the works a few days I read.

8. Considering how out of touch Joe is on most things
He probably hired incompetent hack webmasters and a cheap ass hosting company. In fact I heard he was only paying $15 a month for his site, which wouldn't buy him much bandwidth.

To blame his technical difficulties on "hacking" from the Lamont team was pathetic, and far too easy to prove one way or the other, because only an idiot would have a website without someone (probably the host in this case) monitoring all traffic which comes to the site. Which includes the IP address of every computer which accesses the joe2006.com domain.

10. $15 to pay the bill shouldn't take too long if they can muster the money

17. It is on purpose so they can smear Lamont...remember his speech last night
Lieberman requested that everyone visit his website and give ideas on his campaign. He wants people to see his accusation that Lamont played dirty. It is a nasty rovian-lie.

19. TPM Muckraker's latest on the matter. Confusing. It appears that neither
the host or webmaster really yet know what happened.

Between Joe's Webheads, Stories Differ
By Justin Rood - August 9, 2006, 6:12 PM

I've spoken at length with the two men closest to Sen. Joe Lieberman's ((D/I?)-CT) re-election Web site, joe2006.com, to understand at length what happened to the site yesterday morning. Their versions appear to differ, although it's not immediately clear why. Sam Hubbell, proprietor of myhostcamp.com, which hosted the site, is more involved in the health of the server than Dan Geary, who designed the site and interfaces with the campaign.

Geary runs a small web consulting shop -- not much bigger than himself -- in Nevada, and sometimes uses Hubbell for design work, he told me when we spoke yesterday evening. For his part, Hubbell -- whom I spoke with this afternoon -- told me that myhostcamp.com consists of himself, a co-owner, and fewer than 10 servers located at a facility in Texas. Support, he said, is mostly handled by the Texas facility, Server Matrix.
