Howard Dean Domains

Inspired by Joe Trippi's blog domain, I went digging though the domain database to see if there was anything "interesting" to be found there. No scandal, but some amusing material associated with the Dean campaign. Most of the list was just DeanForInsertstatehere.com or BlahForDean.com. But amusingly, the domains:

DEANFLIPFLOPS.COM
HOWARDFLIPFLOPS.COM
WATCHDEANFLIPFLOP.COM

were all registered by "Dean For America" on "31-Oct-03".

And on "16-SEP-03", the Dean webmaster had registered

FLIPFLOPFORAMERICA.COM and FLIP-FLOPFORAMERICA.COM

I wonder what the story is there, just for the humor value.

Other funny domains:

DEANDEANDEANDEAN.COM
DEANDEANDEANDEANDEAN.COM
DEANDEPRESSION.COM
DEANISWRONG.COM

And interestingly:

DONTRALPH.COM
OPENSOURCEPOLICY.COM
POLICYFORAMERICA.COM

None of these seem to be in use.

If anyone wants it, I've made the list available (not meant to be exhaustive) at:

Again, not exactly hot material, but it has its moments.
