GOP registers domain names in advance of election
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/06/rnc-snaps-up-domain-names/

The campaign has already begun! An article about the GOP pre-emptively registering anti-Clinton, anti-Obama, and anti-McCain domains so as to control and/or employ them during the election.

Some examples (mainly picked for humor - many more in article):

2007
clintonisbad.com
clintonlibrarycard.com
hillaryspendometer.com
hopelesshillary.com
outwithhillary.com

2008
fauxbama.org
meetbarackobama.com <---- !!!
nowecannot.com <---- Should be their party motto
yeswecandowhat.com
yeswecanwhat.com

1. The Hillary ones are funny, but the Obama ones are lame. I wonder if Obama....
beat them to the punch and snapped up the names that could do real damage.

3. I almost want to buy them, and hold them hostage over repugs.
