Democrats register Bet10k.com domain name

Democrats register two domain names that could be used to attack Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney’s attempt to bet Rick Perry $10,000 during a televised debate is the latest (non-issue) making waves in the Republican primaries. His opponents are seizing the opportunity.

It appears the Democratic National Committee registered the domain names Bet10k.com and Bet10k.org yesterday at GoDaddy. Both of the domains names are protected with a whois privacy service but the nameservers on them belong to the democrats: NS1.DEMOCRATS.ORG.

This doesn’t necessarily prove that the Democrats registered the domain names. Anyone can change their nameservers to whatever they want. But I’d be willing to bet the Democratic National Committee is behind the registrations. (I would not bet $10,000, still).

Another domain, 10kBet.com, is now live on the internet. Although also protected by whois privacy, a notice on the bottom states it’s the work of republican rival Jon Huntsman.
