Woman Wants $500,000 For www.election2004.com

A Highland Park woman thinks she may have a Web site name that is the envy of the presidential race -- and she is asking for $500,000 to give it up.

Sue Cohn is selling off the timely domain name election2004.com.

"This proves you can buy an election," said Cohn, who runs Word of Mouth Advertising. "This is the absolute best and most generic name for an election Web site."

1. In Bush's economy?

She'll get $50 if she's lucky.

2. She could find someone to do a "website" for 50 bucks these days

3. The clock is ticking

The election is a month and a half away. This domain name comes with an expiration date, and it'll be worthless very soon. In fact, it's almost too late to sell it for any profit at all, this late in the game.

If she hadn't been so greedy, she could have made a nice profit. A half million is a bit too much to ask. Serves her right.

5. I bet $50

it's Katherine Harris. But most of the profit would go to her pimp anyway, Jeb.
