As a social media/web analyst for WCG It's my job to look for interesting data that can tell a story.

As a bit of a political junkie, I've been doing some analysis on the 2012 primaries.

I found some interestiing data that links what appears to be a Gingrich sponsored anti-Romney website is being put out by the same people who maintain and control the website for the Republican National Convention. http://gopconvention2012.com/ 

Here's the evidence:

First off, the wesite gopconvention2012.com is hosted on the same IP address, as stopromneyspiousbaloney.com  64.203.96.228

So is rncwiki.com a site that no one can access, but is registered by the Republican National Committee dns@rnchq.org. as well as jackiegingrichcushman.com.

Secondly, 

gopconvention2012.com, gopconvention.com, zachwamp.net and zachwamp.org all share a common Google Analytics ID UA-17852270. Both zachwamp domains currently redirect to the content at stopromneyspiousbaloney.com.

 

gopconvention.com is also registered to dns@rnchq.org. it is hosted on a different ip address 64.203.98.47 which links it to a bunch of other RNC websites.

So it appears that the same people who have control over the source code on RNC owned domains are likely sponsoring, or at least purposely linking to an anti-Romney website.

 

-Note I think Mitt Romney's alright, but I'm really rooting for Jon Huntsman in the primary.
