This past Friday, the RNC launched CanWeAsk.com -- an extremely clever deployment of YouTube to effectively hammer Barrack Obama by blending the RNC's opposition research team with real questions submitted by real citizens.

I like this tool and participated with my own question on health care (which now has nearly 26k views). Natch.

While the RNC got it right they made a key mistake by not buying the domain CanWeAsk.org.

Of note, Hillary Clinton made a kinda similar mistake by not buying the domain HilaryHub.com for her uber-popular site HillaryHub.com. Yep, I own it. However, given the state of the race and her chances of being the nominee, I'll likely never do anything fun with it. Oh well, I've spent more money on a cab to get brunch than what it costs to buy a domain.

Anyway, the silly Democrats who bought the .org URL have launched a little note as a placeholder for the site which contains a spelling mistake by using the word "loose" when they meant "lose."

Screener in my Flickr acct:

Given the fact that today is Sunday, I imagine we'll have to wait until Monday for the DNC to start working (again). Just saying...

UPDATE 5/12, 10:28 AM (post-Radiohead): As two tipsters have pointed out (MB and CS), our little prankster has updated the page but continues to use the wrong form of "your"/"you're."

BTW - In general, overuse of the exclamation point makes me nauseous. This is no exception.
