My latest Tribune story: On presidential candidates and Internet domain names.

This interesting tidbit was trimmed:
Early in 1999, Republican consultant Karl Rove spent over $4,000 to register a variety of Web addresses for George W. Bush, including obscene ones he redirected to Bush's official campaign site, www.georgewbush.com. Rove also registered domains that included potential running mates, providing one of the first signs of who was on Bush's short list (though Dick Cheney was not among the names).
