Man Buys Clinton/Kaine Domain For 8 Dollars, Wants To Sell For $90K

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Washington man is hoping to turn an $8 investment into five figures, thanks to the convention in Philadelphia.

The man, who goes by the pen name "Jeremy Pegg," bought the domain name "ClintonKaine.com" for eight bucks back in 2011.

He says he is hoping to resell it for $90,000.

"Obama was looking at Kaine before he picked Biden.  I felt like he was very likely going to be a running mate."

Pegg says he supports Clinton, but he is willing to sell the domain name to anyone, including Donald Trump.
