Who leaked Joe Miller emails? Joe Miller did..

After an angry online exchange between Todd Palin and Alaska Republican Joe Miller surfaced this week, the Senate nominee’s camp searched to discover who was behind the private message’s leak. It turns out, the culprit was inadvertently the Miller campaign itself.

Miller intended to forward an e-mail last month from an irate Todd Palin to a few of his campaign advisers, but the candidate accidentally plugged in the wrong e-mail address for one of the recipients. As a result, the juicy e-mail message from the state’s former first dude — which hints as his wife’s presidential ambitions — was posted for the entire world to see on an Alaska political blog.


But one of the recipients’ e-mail addresses was slightly incorrect: Miller accidently forwarded Todd Palin’s message to an address ending with “@joemiller.com” instead of his own “@joemiller.us” domain.

After the e-mails were posted Tuesday to The Mudflats blog, conjecture swirled over who might have leaked the private communication between Miller and the Palin camp. But the Senate candidate released a statement Wednesday declaring the messages were “picked up by an owner of a similar domain name, unconnected with the Miller campaign, and then apparently leaked by that owner to the media.”

As of Thursday morning, the JoeMiller.com website was a simple blog with one paragraph of text detailing the writer’s experience as a travel photographer. But that wasn’t always the case. On an archived post from the www.JoeMiller.com website from Oct. 1, the site owner describes how a little-known Alaska Senate candidate tried to buy his domain earlier this year — an inquiry that he didn’t think about until later in the summer, when he heard about how Miller unexpectedly defeated Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Aug. 24 primary.

The writer at JoeMiller.com also described how he later researched Miller’s race at The Mudflats blog — the liberal, local news website that released the e-mails from Todd Palin and the Senate candidate. The writer alluded that he had some “other information” about the Senate candidate ready to go.

“Let’s let the general election play out, then I’ll add more information,” he writes. “I don’t want anything said here to influence the outcome, and the other information I have might do that.”

2. Why keep secrets, let it fly. Have a little courage :)

Just make sure it is not out of context.

In many cases the rules applied back is well worth the effects of such things.

3. Maybe the GOP should stick with 2 cans and a piece of string.

Much less dangerous.
