Scott Brown-for-president domain names snatched up before Senate victory

By Bob Cusack - 01/20/10 10:29 AM ET

Several Scott Brown-for-president domain names have been snapped up as interest in the charismatic candidate spreads beyond his home state of Massachusetts.

The rights to scottbrown2012.com and scottbrown2016.com were acquired on Tuesday, the day the Republican scored his stunning victory in the race for Sen. Edward Kennedy's (D-Mass) Senate seat. The domain name scottbrownforpresident.com was already taken, having been bought last Friday.

Some conservatives are already talking about Brown challenging President Barack Obama in 2012. Brown would be up for reelection for his new Senate seat that year.

A Tuesday night posting on craigslist.org stated, "Need a great web designer to volunteer their services to create a website to help elect Scott Brown for president in 2012. Only conservatives need apply ... I own 2 superstar domain names ... please email me if you would like to change the direction of America."

Brown pulled off a huge political upset Tuesday by defeating Democrat Martha Coakley and ending the Democrats' filibuster-proof, 60 seat majority in the upper chamber on Capitol Hill.
