In terms of political imaging, it’s brilliant. The website hack story provides a fully detailed miniature of how Joe has talked about the race to this point: the radicals from computerland went over the line and prevented Joe from talking about the issues with voters. Then they used their superior connections with big media types to get their version out - a version that for bare credibility relies on near complete ignorance of what a website “hack” actually entails. And assuming that he doesn’t go down in a total rout, it gives Joe a readymade victim-position going into an indy run. Talk about lemons to lemonaide.</p> gotta say, whether or not this was a hack or just the rank incompetence it appears, Joe’s people did an amazing job spinning it.
