Type in NewtGingrich.com and you'll be surprised with the results. Gingrich's campaign will be too! A Talking Points Memo's Pema Levy points out, the website redirects to news stories about Gingrich's campaign problems or to sites associated with Gingrich's luxury lifestyle. Among them:

Gingrich's official campaign site is Newt.org. It still looks normal. The Wayback Machine hasn't been much help with NewtGingrich.com. And the Whois record only shows a DomainsByProxy.com registration.

Update 12:39p.m.: Pro-Obama PAC American Bridge bought the NewtGingrich.com, The Atlantic's Molly Ball says. It's "for sale" on Craigslist: "We're asking for $1 million, but we'd be happy to accept $500,000 in bling. Heck in the spirit of Christmas we might even let it go for $10,000."
