Kerry Edwards is real and sells KerryEdwards.com
Seen on CBSmarketwatch: "An online bidder has offered $150,000 to buy the Web address KerryEdwards.com, according to a German firm hired to sell the politically-charged domain name. Matt Bentley, chief executive of Sedo, declined to reveal details about the bid, but said he expects additional, higher offers to be received during the scheduled two-week auction, which began Monday. KerryEdwards.com is owned by a 34-year-old man named Kerry Edwards, a part-time bail bondsman in Indianapolis. He registered KerryEdwards.com two years ago as a personal site for family and friends. "He's sitting on a lottery ticket," Bentley said. Last week, Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign said it had considered buying KerryEdwards.com, but it balked at the price. "We're very happy with our site, JohnKerry.com," a campaign spokeswoman said."
