Online attacks have become a local campaign staple

LOS ANGELES -- Even some of Richard Alarcon's campaign supporters had to concede that the website slamming the politician was cleverly done.

The site had an interactive Monopoly-style board game that drew attention to the legal troubles of the Los Angeles city councilman, who is running for state Assembly this year.

A click on the video brings up a commentary about a grand jury's 18-count felony indictment against Alarcon and his wife, stemming from the district attorney's allegations that they lied about where they lived and voted fraudulently. It does not mention that the couple have pleaded not guilty to all counts and have not yet gone to trial.
