News: McCain Campaign Owns VoteForTheMILF.com?

The reason I post this, is because based on the reactions of the DNS (basically, how trying to go to the URL reacted based on the proof provided on the site), I believe that this is true.

Basically, the web address does two things: first, it redirects to www.johnmccain.com and second, redirects to www.johnmccain.com/palin.htm. The problem with this is the following: for it to go from www.johnmccain.com to palin.htm on the same website, that means that the index page of www.johnmccain.com (the homepage of the website) RECOGNIZES that the request came because of a redirect FROM voteforthemilf.com. The only way it would do that would be IF the developers of www.johnmccain.com KNEW that traffic would be coming from voteforthemilf.com. THAT is unacceptable.

There is no other way for that specific set of redirects to work out like they do unless, at the very least, that the McCain campaign's website developers expect traffic from voteforthemilf.com...which can only be known for sure if they also own the voteforthemilf.com domain name. And it is also given more credibility in that GoDaddy (the registrar of BOTH domain names) has a utility to give all domain names managed by them on an account to point to a single target (in this case johnmccain.com). I don't actually care about this...I think it's funny. But I also know that MANY of John McCain's supporters (especially those whose support came after the selection of Palin to be the VP nominee) would be up in arms things like this in a heartbeat.
