Yesterday’s VP debate outlined the great divide, in political terms, between the two parties’ leadership.
There’s the fact-checking, truth-telling party and the lying-through-your-nose, anything-for-a-vote party. If you watched the debate of Waltz vs. Vance you can probably tell who represented which.
Politics as heated as presidential elections attract registrations of political domains. Some might outlive the political lifespan of those in whose “honor” they were registered. Typically, they match short statements that politicians made during an exchange that was televised.
The truth is that registering domains related to politics is a waste of reg fee money. They end up getting expired down the road, sooner or later, having accrued renewal fees perhaps of a few years. The ones that have potential to sell are exact matches of candidates’ names, a rare find, or of political pairs.
A vast majority of political domains end up in a deletion cycle bin that may or may not get picked up — and that’s the damning answer.
Tim Walz’s “damning non-answer” reference got picked up as the matching .com, DamningNonAnswer.com probably within minutes of the Democratic VP candidate’s snappy response. Parked for sale at the usual repository of GoDaddy PPC landers, the domain is awaiting its eventual fate. I sincerely doubt it will remain registered a year from now.
Meanwhile, DamningAnswer.com remains unregistered. Unhinged from any political background, it might have a better fate.
Well, domains like PoliticalCredibility_com and PoliticalGambling_com. Long, but I think they have both short and long term value. (By some strange occasional event I have registered them). As BuzzRuptor and Borneat. What does it say about me?
