This afternoon, I wrote a post for the Strategist about Obama’s sick fundraising numbers for the month of January. A couple minutes after I sent it in, the campaign out an email, asking for more donors. Now, the entire website is down.

I know the campaign has committed serious resources to maintaining servers. The response to this email must have simply been unimaginable. I wonder how much this downtime is costing them. Is 100k an hour too high an estimate?
