Net Vendors Turning Down Lieberman Party Work Offers
Where’s Joe2006.com? Well, it’s still only a shell of itself, once again pointing to incompetence as the cause of the “hack.”
But there’s even more interesting information on that front. It seems major Democratic technology groups are turning down Senator Liberman’s (Lieberman-CT) offers to provide technology support in his go-it-alone re-election campaign.
First was Blue State Digital. When approached by the Lieberman campaign, their response was “Thank you for your inquiry about Blue State Digital’s technology services. Unfortunately, we cannot be of service to the Lieberman campaign. We work exclusively with Democratic candidates.”
Many ironies here, folks. First, Blue State Digital does our technical work, and provides our tools for meaningful online participation. That Senator Lieberman’s staff didn’t know that is another sign of their web-incompetence. Second, it’s the Blue State tech team we offered to send them on election day as they cried foul over their website “hack” to anyone with a camera, microphone, or steno notepad.
And after Blue State Digital, Plus Three closed the door as well. In a similar fashion, the company told Senator Lieberman to find another vendor, they too will not work with the Connecticut for Lieberman Party.
I wonder … what Democratic technology vendor would work with Senator Lieberman this election cycle? With all the damage he is doing to the Party in CT and across the country, coupled with the online support we have earned … who?
UPDATE: “Plus Three was founded on core democratic principals best expressed by a true electorate and majority. The people of Connecticut have spoken.”
