Obama08.com Redirecting to a Google Search

When you enter obama08.com into your address bar, you’ll end up on a Google search for [Barack Obama]. This isn’t any browser fallback for a non-existing domain or something... http://obama08.com actually has a temporary HTTP redirect towards that Google search URL. (Anyone could set this up, but I’m curious who did this and why – I can’t seem to find any good info in a Whois query or on the Wayback Machine.) [Thanks Andreas Schneider!]
