Apparently whatever dickiness lj went through this weekend killed off two posts and replaced them with a blank. Bah.

The peculiar logic of domain speculation (intentional or otherwise)

EDWARDS: I don't think they're willing to pay what it's actually worth, and I'm not in the financial position to just give away money. So if they were willing to pay what the Web site's worth, that's great, I'll give it to them. (link)

So, let's check that again, viewers: he registered the domain in 2002, after domain speculation had largely gone bust, so there's a good chance it was a $9.99 deal (or similar), and now if he gets "what it's actually worth", he'll "give" it to the Kerry/Edwards campaign.
