99.9999999% sure that even lower level workers did not. So why is this an issue?

Re-posted for people missing my point.

1. Your point sucks as much as before.
Obama's campaign doesn't even need to be put in the same sentence as Email hacking.

Guess that's the part you are missing.

2. Of course how would we feel if Obama's email was hacked
and the McCain campaign claimed they did not do it? Of course we would never believe them, but if it were true would we then believe it was ok for McCain supporters to make an issue of it?

10. The difference is that
We do not have a history of doing such things. Which governor did we steal an election from, then send to jail?

3. No .... it's also an issue on Palins judgment in using a common yahoo.com e mail account ....
as someone running for V.P. or possible President of the United States of America ..... the most important job in the FREAKING WORLD. No security risk there huh when a 9th grade hacker can access such information. JUDGMENT .... is an issue here. By the way what happened to your original post on this?

5. I re-posted it
I saw this as a non-issue as far as Obama goes, but my point did not get across.

4. Exactly! Anonymous did the hacking. So it is not a big deal for us.
And compared to someone outside the Democratic party hacking some of the governor's official business for which she created an unofficial email to provide secrecy,

Official Republican Secretaries of States' attempts to suppress Democratic voter turnout and registration are far more serious.

Stealing America Vote by Vote is a lot more serious than a little hacking.

6. MVD
ATTN: DU - A well known hacking group took responsibility for hacking Palin's email

ONE OF THE SCREEN SHOTS SHOWS ANONYMOUS TAKING CREDIT FOR IT:

Anonymous
This loose group of Internet vigilantes (vaguely centered around, but not officially connected to, the site 4chan) often harasses unsavory but small-time people, but they did help with the arrest of pedophile Chris Forcand. Their usual tactic is a simple denial of service attack like the one against Scientology.org, but they occasionally get more sophisticated; members tell me they plan to hoist banners above some Church branches. Inspired by the release of Tom Cruise's secret Scientology video and the Church's attempts to suppress it, Anon promises an all-out war in the following hokey but entertaining video:

8. Thanks for posting
This is a problem on the internet, for sure. Even many legit sites are serving malware.
