“I love you, Paul. I love you more, Mitt!” – Reuters image.
Ah, gotta love the big political dreamers behind the RomneyRyan.com attempted sale.
First, came the fake appearance of the web site, framing in content from MittRomney.com to make it look legit.
Then came the listing of the domain on Sedo with an asking price of $250,000 – then Sedo banned all sales of “Romney” domains at its marketplace.
Lastly, the domain was sent to Flippa, where it didn’t sell for $8,000.
And now, the domain is just parked at GoDaddy. Crickets galore!
Not only is this an indication of the fallacy of its seller, but it’s an omen about the drop of popularity for the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, and his sidekick, Paul Ryan.
Political domains that match their candidates names are not only unprofitable and impossible to sell, but they also can lead to litigation.
With Obama’s popularity taking off away from that of Romney’s, now it’s the time to guesstimate the name of the next political candidate of the GOP, for 2016.
Anyone registering domains of politicians is a fool if they think they can make six figures!!
So you already predicted that Rummney will lose…
So one got into an industry that is regulated. PACS & Super PACs can not be affiliated with ANY candidate by virtue of Campaign Finance Reform. The name COULD have been sold to the campaign if they wanted it OR an average citizen that wanted to put up a pro or anti Romney/Ryan website. The former didn’t want it and the latter would never spend that kind of money.
Political candidates are not a great prospect for BIG money. ISSUES are probably a better way to go.
I love Romney.
