“Today’s ‘Talkin' Texas’ webcast by Gov. Perry was deliberately interrupted by a denial-of-service attack, preventing countless users from logging in to view the Governor’s remarks. This planned and coordinated attack was political sabotage, and we are working to identify those responsible for this illegal activity. Before the attack was initiated, more than 22,000 users were able to log in and view Gov. Perry’s complete remarks, which will be distributed shortly.”
I saw it just fine, other than the audio being out of sync for a few seconds right at the beginning. Apparently the site was hacked though and people who tried to log on were unable to do so...
The Burnt Orange peeps think Rick is making the whole thing up, and so do Kay's peeps, but I think either it was attacked or it wasn't... someone is going to have egg on their face. My money is on Burnt Orange and Kay's spokesman having egg on their face for stepping in this issue. It is Burnt Orange's job to mess with any and all Republican efforts, and they are just a blog like this is a blog so they are just trying to get readers... but I would have stayed quiet if I were Kay's team...
In fact, it looks like Kay's other spokesman deleted some of his tweets probably realizing he had stepped in it already.
One of Rick's peeps assures me that this was definitely a denial of service attack, and they can pinpoint exactly when it happened.

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
