Obama's Web Site Hacked, Takes You to Clinton's Page

The attack redirected certain links on the Obama Web site to the Hillary Clinton campaign site. The "cross-site scripting" code, which automatically sends users from one Web site to another, was inserted through a vulnerability in the "community blogs" section.
The links have been fixed, and the security hole has been reportedly closed, but we're sure to see more of these as the presidential race drags on... and on... and on. [Source: Newsvine]

Anything said by his camp to get the attention of the 10 point lead. Please give me a break.

This seems a lot more legit than the "hacking" of Lieberman's site from last year. Still, it's not even the biggest danger to democracy presented by malicious attacks in the digital age.

Though this certainly presents a major problem, it pales in comparison with the problems presented by poor security in voting machines.

Hacking Obama's site is no worse than him telling his supporters in Michigan to vote "Undecided" because his name wasn't on the ballot. It also pales in comparison to giving the finger TWICE to Hillary during his "rock-star" rallies!! Politics is a dirty business, and Obama should know all about that.
