Reupkes offer to buy kerry edwards personal site what ever the cost

[greenbriar]

INDIANAPOLIS - 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 (news - web sites) announced John Edwards (news - web sites) as his running mate Tuesday.







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



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.


Edwards, who pays about $25 a year for the domain, said he would probably post it for sale on eBay.


"I'll sell it if the price is right, that's for sure," Edwards said.


Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Kerry-Edwards campaign in Washington, said he knew of no plans to make an offer for the site. He said johnkerry.com would continue as the campaign's official Web site.

1. I'd sell it for 280 million dollars if I were him. :-)

2. I'd use it to start a message board

about the campaign.

3. Better Idea

Here are the terms for selling it...
Bush needs to drain his campaign coffers, promise no more false and misleading attack ads, and to come clean on Iraq and 9/11 and Osama...and all BEFORE the damned elections!!

[mermaid]

9. Even Better Ideas...

Post it for auction in ebay, state that the proceeds of the sale will be a campaign contribution to Kerry/Edwards in the name of the winning bidder...and embarrass the crap outta this guy in Texas by publishing the contribution!

Or, the price could be for Dubya to eat another pretzel!!! :evilgrin:

4. Huge mistake

He should not only not sell this web address, he should be snapping up anything he or his team can think of that the repukes would think of, like stopedwards.com. Don't do it, John!!!

6. That's not possible..

There are thousands of combinations. How can he purchase every possiblity and how much resources would he waste? Wouldn't it better to focus on the campaign?

7. I point to one extreme, and you the other

You of course have an excellent point. But I strongly feel his team should be looking at purchasing the names to obvious ones. Besides, he doesn't need to buy them on the 5 or 10 year plan - go to a cheapie registrar and get the names for 1 year. If this were my campaign, I would think of it as an investment against repuke dirty tricks.

8. Yea I know...

Rove is the master of such things...

5. Desperation....

You gotta be desperate when you have to block a sight from opening. Rather than focus on issues and substance their strategy is to block a website..bwhahahahahahahaah :smoke:
