Even if his promotions are internal, it’s going to take a miracle to get up and running with a new team within a few days. And he will be going up against a finely tuned Lamont team. Truth is, only Rove can help Lieberman now, so he is about to make a Faustian bargain with the devil, if he hasn’t already.

Looks like he even got rid of his internal pollsters. There were also several staff people who resigned because they refused to work for any candidate who was not a Democrat.

ServerMatrix, also called The Planet, has great security options:

Additional Backup is no pronlem, too:
http://www.servermatrix.com/se…..ckups.html

The Texans use a ‘CPanel’ content management system, so that’s the system that is used for Joe2006 and the other sites, too.
Evidence:
dkos “http://www.meetned.com/ 69.56.129.130
http://www.joe2006.com/ 69.56.129.130″
Cpanel license check: “http://verify.cpanel.net/index.cgi?ip=69.56.129.130&x=33&y=14″

Also, there’s a user registered at CPanel with the name of Myhostcamp1 (google the site). He never made even a single post at the support forum there.

Now, I don’t know what to make of this, but this begs some questions:
Has the additional security service been used?
If not, why?
Has the optional backup been used?
If not, why?
Does Sam Hubbell know how to configure and use CPanel?
Is the ‘bandwith suspended’ message an internal feature of CPanel?

I don’t know about the rest of you (he-he) but for me the election last night was stress-free. I decided to take a quick nap at 6:30 PM before all the excitement started…I woke up at 3:38 AM. I couldn’t believe I did that! I lifted my laptop into my bed and started it up and logged onto firedoglake. What a surprise to see that Ned had won!
