Kerry Edwards, an Indiana bail bondsman who has owned www.kerryedwards.com
for six years, reportedly has been offered $15,000 for the site.
Another site, www.kerryedwards.org,
was registered in January of 2003 by Leadership for a New Era
(LFANE), an organization that has been lobbying for a Kerry-Edwards
ticket. With so many Web sites, how can candidates and their campaigns
ensure the integrity of their own Web sites and promote ethical
campaign practices? How can supporters determine whether a Web
site is legitimate? Chicago-Kent professor Richard
Warner is president of Standards Association for Elections
Online (SAFE), a nonprofit organization that develops standards
and practices for online campaign activity and endorses third-party
monitors who certify campaign Web sites as abiding by SAFE standards.
Professor Warner is available to discuss trends in online campaigning
