Rand Paul Paid $100K for RandPaul.com

[DonViejo]

Days before Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) launched his bid for president, his campaign shelled out more than $100,000 to a domain-buying firm to purchase the domain name RandPaul.com, according to National Journal.

“The payment is an enormous sum even in the murky world of political cybersquatting… Patrick Ruffini, a veteran GOP digital strategist, said that he had never heard of a campaign paying so much for a URL, though he was not shocked.”

1. Was RandPaul.ca not available? What about RandPaul.cu?

Could have save some serious maple leaves or cigar rings or whatever currency his people use.

2. Squatter for the win. I would have held out for more.
