Naked Ambition on Display?

Courtesy of Jim Riley over at Virginia Virtucon, it appears that the ambitions of certain Delegate wannabes is revealed:

I'm kinda interested in the copyright dates. 2004!?!?! Looks like Carroll Weimer and Jackson Miller may be possessed of the same reverence-deficiency towards the late Harry Parrish of which so many of Steve Chapman's critics accuse him, and for which so many viciously and childishly attack him. If they were considering a race as far back as 2004 --- which the copyright date would indicate --- it would suggest that they were doing so for the same reason that motivated Chapman's near-successful run in 2005 (45% of the GOP primary vote), i.e., dissatisfaction over Harry's surrender to Governor Marky Mark's unnecessary tax increase.

I wonder how many of those guardians of the memory of The Revered Harry Parrish will launch similar attacks upon Miller and Weimer?

UPDATE: One of the minor bloggers who specializes in smears (either that, or lapdoggery, for preferred candidates) has decided to smear me again, too, ignoring the content of this post (which addresses the odd copyright date), and accuses me of engaging in "some bizarre conspiracy theory." Of course, I am doing and have done no such thing. I don't think it's a particularly big deal if, as Jim Riley noted, the two candidates are using the same web designer, any more than it would be a big deal if they were getting their signs from the same vendor.

What is odd is that the intellectual property which is their website has a 2004 copyright date. It might be nothing. Then again....

UPDATE 2: Andy Harrover clears it up, in a comment that is elevated to text:
I have volunteered, at no cost, to host the websites for both candidates. The copyright date is on the default page assigned by the server. It is meaningless.

If you're interested in the date a domain was registered, you'd be better served by going to netsol.com and looking up the whois record. I expect that you'll find that both sites were registered within the last month.
Thanks for clearing that up, Andy.
