VP Watch

The owner of the domain name www.obamabayh08.com, tells CQ VP Watch via e-mail that he is not affiliated with the Barack Obama campaign but that he would like to sell the site to the presumptive Democratic nominee should Obama pick Evan Bayh as his running mate.

We -- and by that I mean me -- reported yesterday that the site, which got a bit of attention several weeks ago because it redirected to Obama's campaign Web site, is now sending users to the Democratic National Committee's site.

Simple explanation, writes the owner of the domain, whose email address begins joechan24 and who is listed as a resident of a neighborhood in Boston.

"I'm not very good at making Web sites so I just forwarded the site," he writes. "I guess there could be some confusion from the campaign, but I also hope that anything that helps the campaign and also helps increase the value of the Web site would be beneficial to myself and increase the worth of the Web site name."

Aye, there's the rub: "I don't have an asking price right now," he writes. "Do you have any suggestions?"

Well, do you?
