No AntonioforGuv2010.com?

An anonymous, right-side political blog called Informed Sources posts that it has quickly registered the web domain names Villaraigosa2009.com and Antonio2009.com.

After Villaraigosa wins the Los Angeles mayoral runoff election on Tuesday, we have to figure out what to do with them. Possibilities range from giving them to the mayor in exchange for an LAX concession contract (whoops, wrong candidate) to holding on to them until Bernard Parks makes us an offer in 2008.

So that we don't get mistaken for Hahn operatives (we're not), we are simultaneously announcing our much-anticipated endorsement of Villaraigosa (after all, we now have a stake in his success -- if he loses, the value of our newly acquired domains drops like a dot-com in 2001).

Informed Sources says it's "a blog that believes in common sense and rational solutions (ours, of course!)."
