Politically Motivated Domain Name Speculation
June 2004
Combine the return of high prices for domains
from speculators with the latest election season,
and it should be no surprise that people
everywhere are trying to pick up domain names for
the Presidential candidates. Some, obviously, are
designed to be parodies of real campaign websites,
while others are just up for sale. While the
article makes it sound surprising that campaigns
haven't snapped up some of the more "obvious"
domain names, you have to wonder who is actually
convinced by a satirical website about their
election day choices? The big bets on the
Democratic side of the domain speculation aisle is
coming up with potential domain names that include
the name of the unknown VP candidate in the hopes
that the campaign will shell out big bucks after
the announcement is made.
