Bindersfullofwomen.com snapped up in 90 seconds
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- To cash in on a pithy election sound bite, you have to move fast. The domain name bindersfullofwomen.com was snapped up less than two minutes after the instantly viral phrase left Mitt Romney's mouth on Tuesday night.
The speed race winner was American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic super PAC. The group's biggest funder is hedge fund billionaire George Soros, who made a $1 million donation earlier this year.
"We bought it because we could tell it would be a memorable moment from the debate," said Chris Harris, the PAC's communications director. "We were sort of on standby, knowing that Internet memes like this can solidify within seconds."
