The new Vermont politics

The Web site TarrantSucks.com is for sale, according to a July 2 posting on Vermont Craiglist, an online network that offers free classified advertisements.

The ad, which is posted in the "barter" section, says the owner "will trade for something you have that I want."

The Web site currently links to "Welcome to Kyla_Cam.com!!!," which features pornographic photographs of men and women. The ad says the buyer can "point" the site to the Web site of his or her choice.

According to anonymous e-mail correspondence with the person who posted the advertisement, $500 has been offered for the site. However, the alleged Web site owner said he or she refused the offer because it’s not high enough. "I'm thinking that with Tarrant's $ that increases the value of the address?" the e-mail read.

"I had an offer to buy, but the offer was far too low," according to the e-mail. "After all it cost me $4.95 to register the name, and another $15.00 to hide my personal information. So an offer of $500 seems a little low to me."

The Craigslist advertisement for sale of TarrantSucks.com is listed among other ads requesting trade for firewood, reflexology, a box of Playboy magazines and "GOOD homecooked meals."

This, by the way, is not the first time the domain TarrantSucks.com has entered the blogosphere. In the first of May, the domain name appeared, purportedly with a link to the site of Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who is running for U.S. Senate in Vermont against Richard Tarrant, a businessman candidate vying for the GOP nomination.

Tarrant's campaign cried foul. Sanders' campaign struck back. And away it went....
