Domain Registration Mining Turns Up Republican Plans?

So I was doing some mining of recent domain name registrations and discovered some funny things. I was found some Sarah Palin domains but none of them appear to be hers. Now why in the world would a political figure on the national scene like her NOT register her domain name? Going to sarahpalin.com I see a FOR SALE sign.

I see other domains that aren't hers...

votepalinforpresident2012.com
votepalinforpresident2012.us
votesarahforpresident2012.com
votesarahforpresident2012.us
votesarahpalinforpresident2012.com
votesarahpalinforpresident2012.net
votesarahpalinforpresident2012.us
votesarahpalinforpresident2012.org
(all registered on 10/21-10/22/2008)

Are the republicans admitting defeat and preparing for the next election? Currently these domains appear to be parked with nothing on them about Palin. Maybe just opportunistic business person capitalizing on clicks. Turmac Corporation is who is listed as the registrant - dont know if they are working for her or domain squatter.

And then there's Joe the Plumber from Ohio. Oh look, a couple domains (all registered on 10/22/2008)...

joeplumbervotes.com
joeplumbervotes.info
joeplumbervotes.net
joeplumbervotes.org

Looking at these websites it appears that it isn't infamous Ohio plumber but rather someone else who says they aren't a plumber and will be voting democratic.


Lastly, are the democrats getting ahead of themselves?

congratulationsdemocrats.com

No, just another squatter looking for click $$.

So the lesson for all you budding politicians out there: register your domain name. BTW, I have registered GREGFEEZEL.COM but have no interest in going into politics...at least not today. LOL
