If you were looking for Newt Gingrich�s campaign website, you would probably assume it was something like www.newtgingrich.com.

Well, you would be wrong.

On Wednesday, people who visited that particular URL were redirected to one of a number of sites slamming the GOP hopeful, including websites for Freddie Mac, Tiffany & Co. (the jewelry store where he racked up a six-figure credit) and a Washington Post story describing his failing campaign.

Newt doesn�t actually own www.newtgingrich.com, so a Democratic political action committee says they decided to snatch it up and play a little prank. Now that they�ve had their fun, they wanted to sell the name on the same site they bought it: Craigslist.

�In true holiday spirit, we figured it might go to someone with greater need than us,� the ad says (it appears to be flagged for removal). The concept of �need� here is clearly figurative, since the asking price for the name was set at a steep $1 million (OBO, of course).

For the record, Newt�s actual campaign website is www.newt.org.
