hactivism in the democratic primaries

Did you read about the recent xss attack on Obama's blog? This happened just before the Pennsylvania Primaries, where Clinton's nomination hung in the balance.

Apparently Twitter has also been experiencing outages over the last few days. The timing couldn't have been worse for the Obama campaign. The outage hitting the Obama demographic squarely when they certainly could have used the services.

Normally i'm not into conspiracies but the Clinton camp has pulled off at least one major cyber-victory against the Obama campaign (the XSS) and they have the political motivation and probably the resources to have done this. If they were techno-savvy enough to pull off a twitter heist, then this would be the most notable act of hactivism in recent history. cool to think about.
