Republican Minnick Site Taken Over

At MountainGoat Report, the blogmistress is enjoying the alignment of the stars that placed the old "Republicans for Walt Minnick" Web site into the hands of someone who offers Russian women and "Lucullus Aliment Offering Basket - A Savory Treat In compensation Any Chance." If you follow MGR at all, you know that the blogmistress would give her eye-teeth to see Minnick defeated in his re-election bid this year. Still, MGR considers this annexation of an unused Web site by an opportunistic Web crawler "befitting" of the crazy race for the 1st Congressional District seat. You can read her post here.

Question: Is it right that opportunistic Web denizens can take over use abandoned Web sites for their own purposes? And/or: Do you think more Republicans support Walt Minnick today than they did two years ago?
