A walk through the history of scottwalker.org

Considering that Scott Walker seems to be furiously backtracking and claiming that he barely knows Brian Pierick and Tim Russell, they seem to be fairly heaviliy involved in his campaign web site.  A quick look through the history of the domain registrations for scottwalker.org indicates that until 2 days ago, Tim Russell was the registrant of the web site, and that before Russell was the registrant, Biran Pierick owned the domain name, with Tim Russell as the administrative contact.

A number of other issues were raised today in a conference call with Mike Tate of the WIsconsin Democratic Party about whether Russell and Pierick owning his domain name was appropriate, and whether or not Walker's campaign paid for the domain registration and the web development.

This is all not exactly a smoking gun, but it's an interesting history.
