Sorry, these domain names are taken

It's no surprise that the internet domain names, sarahpalinforpresident.com and sarahpalin2012.com have both been claimed. Speculators often register many such domains hoping that the right candidate will emerge to run for high office. That canidate would need the domain for his or her official website, and the speculator hopes to rake in big profits on the sale. A web domain originally purchased for a few dollars can sometimes be sold for $75,000 or more.

The Inquisitr thinks that it is highly significant that Jay Griffin of Anchorage, Alaska now owns the two names mentioned above. Griffin is no mere domain speculator. He is a member of the Alaska Republican Party Central Committee. The Inquisitr says the fact that Griffen owns the names gives every appearance that "Sarah Palin really does have intentions of running for the U.S. Presidency in 2012":
"Even though Palin hasn’t come right out and confirmed that she is gearing up to run for President in the 2012 elections, the fact that somebody close to her geographically and politically has been taking steps to that effect surely will take some of the surprise out of it when it is announced."
While we wouldn't go quite that far, we have to admit that it could be a sign.

Update: Great minds...
