Democratic Super PAC Buys Newtgingrich.com 630
netbuzz writes "The purchase of newtgingrich.com by a Democratic Super PAC — and the use of it to highlight Newt Gingrich's political weaknesses — is either amusing or a dirty trick, depending on your politics and your view of the Republican presidential hopeful. In either case, however, it is a cautionary tale about the importance of controlling your brand online, a task that is about to get more difficult for everyone thanks to the impending expansion of generic top-level domains."
It links to FREDDIE MAC (Score:3, Funny)
Just tried the link http://newtgingrich.com/ [newtgingrich.com] and up comes freddiemac.com, which you may recall is the organization that paid newt 50,000 per hour for consulting. Now Newt considers this a feather in his cap and a good example of how his intellectual abilities are well appreciated. So it hardly seems like this is sandbagging him. He'd approve of this recommendation.
