The FBI is investigating an attack by hackers on Republican Candidate for Senate Michael Bouchard's Web site, www.mikeformichigan.com.
The site was also hacked three weeks ago, but at the time it was believed to be because of interest in Bouchard's daughter, the FBI said.
The FBI said it traced the activity back to Maryland, and is on its way to investigate.

No matter how many attacks they attempt or perpetrate, it isn't going to change the fact that Fat Debbie is useless as a Senator.
Anyway, who's excited enough about Fat Debbie to attack Bouchard's site?

I'm wondering if that recent Detroit voter roll purge (40,000 IIRC?) has something to do with it.
The dead voters have gone hi-tech!

Do people who do this think the FBI cannot identify them? I think the idea is that by then its too late, the election is either won or lost.

I am on the West side of the state and curios as to the weather in Detroit and Flint? Looks like rain on the radar. Anyone know?

Sigh. It sucks they're being attacked, but a response like that will NOT intimidate any attackers. :p
Hopefully, he'll get a win for the R's and make it all moot.

It's raining here in SE Mi

There is rain. From what I've heard, it gets worse as you go from Flint to Detroit. But it's not that bad, really.

I'm not a computer expert so i don't know if that's a minor problem or not. I called their campaign headquarters and they can't access right now, either but at least they're now aware of it.
