Bull Market For Political Domains
This story is six months old, but I wanted to publish it here because it highlights the value of owning political domains. Now is a great time to be scooping them up and then hold on for a couple years when the 2008 presidential race starts heating up.
Bull Market For Political Domains
June 22, 2004
Despite offers of as much as $135,000, the Internet domain name Bush2004.com is not for sale, Wired reports. The domain was snapped up by Brian Rodgers and he isn't selling it to the Bush-Cheney campaign.
Said Rodgers: "He's a sorry son of a bitch and I'll do anything I can to bring him down."
"The fate of Bush2004.com is an oft-repeated example of what happens when politicians neglect to snap up websites containing common variants of their name and election year. While the Bush campaign controls many of the obvious sites, including BushCheney2004.com, GeorgeBush.com, BushforPresident and GeorgeWBush.com -- the official campaign website -- other domains, including GWBush.com and Bush2004, remain in the hands of speculators and satirists."
"These days, with campaign season in full swing, speculation in political websites has spawned its own mini industry. Banking on candidates' fears that desirable domains will wind up in the wrong hands, speculators in some cases are buying up domains containing names of prominent politicians even before their electoral intentions are made public."
