Reichert aide buys up other candidate's Web domain name as joke

State Sen. Luke Esser, left,
is not amused by a Dave Reichert
campaigner's Internet prank.

When state Sen. Luke Esser was setting up his congressional campaign Web site, his staff was curious to learn that several Web addresses with his name were already taken.

After some detective work, they found out the Web site names were registered to Kent Patton, an employee of King County Sheriff Dave Reichert and campaigner for his boss, who is running for the same Eastside congressional seat as Esser.

Patton said this week that it was just a joke, and that Esser can have the addresses.

But Esser isn't laughing.

FYI Reichart and Esser are both Republicans running for WA-08, the seat being vacated by the retirement of Jennifer Dunn.

I hope this gets ugly and the voters get turned off by both of them.

just wondering... This is just the tip of the iceberg.

That said, it's a move we've made just as often.
