(CNN) -- KerryEdwards.com is getting a lot of attention, but you won't find any pictures of the Democratic presidential candidate and his running mate.
The online address belongs to Kerry Edwards, a bail bondsman from Indianapolis, Indiana. He joined CNN's Carol Lin to discuss the coincidence and the Web site.
LIN: I don't suppose your middle name is John?
EDWARDS: No.
LIN: No such luck there. All right.
EDWARDS: But my wife's name is Elizabeth.
LIN: Oh, I cannot believe this coincidence. How much do you think this Web site is worth? Because you've been offered a lot of money for it.
EDWARDS: Yes, I have. And I've actually been contacted by a couple of international companies who were interested in buying it. But I have no confirmed offers at the moment.
LIN: How much money have you been hearing?
EDWARDS: My largest was $150,000. And I've been told by a couple of other professional people that deal in domain brokering that it's worth much more than that ... I'm not really schooled in how they work. How they track, you know.
LIN: Well, who's contacted you specifically? You mentioned a couple of businesspeople. What about anybody from the campaigns?
EDWARDS: Tuesday morning I was contacted by the John Kerry campaign and I spoke to their lead counsel. And they just decided to decline on the Web site at this time.

The host suggests giving it to the Kerry campaign at a fire sale price? Is he/she kidding?!
By the way, I own MondaleFerraro.com. I'll sell it for a bottle of Scotch. OK, a bottle of beer. OK, domestic...
Looks like someone has staked out FondaKerry.com
Ah, another opportunity lost. How much are you willing to pay someone to take it off your hands? Don't be miserly now. You wouldn't want to blow another opportunity.
Greed...greed...greed....It's what makes people lose money.
You are absolutely right. An axiom says: You can't cheat an honest man/woman.
Why doesn't he just lease it to them for four months? (or five to allow for court decisions)
He gets the $150,000 and after it is over he gets to go back to using it for his business.
(just thinking like a laywer, sorry folks.)
OK, you win. I'm desperate to unload this turkey.
So print this out, and take it to your bank:
Date: July 25, 2004
Pay to the order of: F.J. Mitchell
One squadrillion dollars... $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00

Ok - my final offer - two empty bottles of Coors and the pull tab from a can of Schlitz.
LOL! That's an offer I can't refuse. But you should have kept a little to subsist on. Make it half that much and we have a deal.
So what is the domain to own for the next cash cow? PowellRice2008.com? HilaryBillary2008.com?
