From Debbie Wasserman Schultz....head of the DNC:
"...the servers were apparently designed to anticipate about 50,000 people a day going on the website and moving around and they -- it turns out it's been 250,000 a day. So it's very clear that there is demand. "
Wow...all for a price tag that's been reported as high as $634 million:

I take back everything I said. This isn't a case of lack of competence. This was DESIGN to fail. :)
