I don't know how those operations run, anymore, and my experience was from pre-interweb days. Do you know as a matter of fact, that the campaign was not using the website as a tool in its GOTV work?
If so, cite please.

As you know, I have a close relative who is working on a campaign. I am reliably informed that the website is not important to election day GOTV. E-mail, maybe moreso, but certainly not to the tune of 3%.
Since we're on the subject, I will add that you do not have to look very hard to find blogs questioning the web-hosting service that the Lieberman campaign chose. Low-end, and not likely able to handle the sort of traffic you would see in these circumstances. Also not likely to be able to tell the Lieberman folks what caused their problems today. Am happy to provide cites if you will promise to read them.

This makes no sense, you want a cite to my hope that is based on a conditional fact assumption, that by the "if" I used in my post, I am acknowledging may or may not be true?

Cite for the notion that Lamont's victory is somehow ill-gotten. I took this as a suggestion on your part (again) that he had cheated, notwithstanding the admission today by the Lieberman folks that they had no evidence of this.
