Typosquatting the U.S presidential election - a security risk?

How likely?: Obama is an intelligent manager; surely he has people working for him who have foreseen this sort of thing and parked on the most likely typos themselves. I tried typing in several variants of barackobama.com. They either redirected to the right site or defaulted to Google, which I keep as my home page. This makes me think this is pretty much a non-issue, though it is useful for all to be and stay aware of the potential for this to happen.; Posted by: avanclea@...
