Tennessee State Rep. Mike Kernell told the Tennessean that his
son, David Kernell, is involved in the speculation about the
identity of the hacker who gained access to vice presidential
nominee Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! Email account.

Rep. Kernell’s announcement comes after rumors about David
Kernell’s speculated involvement in the Palin email hack
case. These rumors center around the fact that David’s
online activities, including postings in blogs and forums link
him to the rubico10 at yahoo dot com address used by the hacker. These
links were uncovered through Internet searches.

The email hack is currently under investigation by both the FBI
and Secret Service, but neither agency has made any public
suspect or arrest announcements.
