The Republican National Committee and the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign are investigating outages that left GOP.com and GeorgeWBush.com inaccessible for six hours on Tuesday.

The two Web sites failed to respond to some Internet requests starting around 8 a.m. PST and were largely unresponsive by 9 a.m. PST, according to Web site monitoring service AlertSite.com. The problem seemed to most affect GeorgeWBush.com, which became largely inaccessible within an hour.
The outage also affected the RNC's alternate address--RNC.org. By 1:45 p.m. PST, the RNC's Web sites were again accessible, but the Bush-Cheney '04 outage continued.
"We don't have a lot of information," said Scott Hogenson, director of radio and online media for the RNC. "We are looking into it. But it was no big deal."
