Am I the only one who dislikes the domain name itself? Every time I see it, I read it as "Clint One Mail", not "Clinton Email".
I mean the current owner of clinton.com is some investment firm that could probably do just as well something like ClintonGroup.com or ClintonInvestments.com. If I was her, I would fight for the email address "hillary@clinton.com."
Then again, I'm a programmer, not a politician.
How does one "fight for an email address"?
Once you own a domain, you own it. It doesn't matter that it just so happens to be someone else's last name.
She would have had to pay most likely a large sum to the investment firm that already owns clinton.com... and perhaps they aren't interested in selling, or they value the domain too high.
