'Kerry Edwards' Site Belongs to Bondsman
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Web site Kerry Edwards started two years ago to show the world photos of his toddler son has suddenly become hot property. The phones at the bail bonds business Edwards owns started ringing with calls from people and groups wanting his kerryedwards.com Web address even before Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry announced John Edwards as his running mate Tuesday.

That day, the Web site also received more than 51,000 hits.

One of the first calls was from the Kerry campaign, asking Edwards to donate the domain name to the campaign. But the 34-year-old Indianapolis man said he won't be giving it away because he's gotten some offers of up to $30,000 for the name.

He said the callers have included an advertising company, a Wisconsin investment group and a Republican in Texas promising to pay more than the highest bidder to keep the site out of Democrats' hands.

1. Be funny to get into a bidding war with the Repuke from TX
keep bumping it up until the guy starts sweating.

After it gets to $5M, say, "OK, it's yours." Watch him go bankrupt. Financially, since he already was, morally.
