Bets That Candice Michelle Beckman Will Run for Senate Also
From gambling911.com:
She was the talk around the water coolers last year after the steamy GoDaddy.com commercial aired, Candice Michelle is now making quite a splash.
Fox killed a repeat airing of the sexy Super Bowl spot, citing pressure from the National Football League to can it.
The privately owned company, which had no previous experience in television advertising, paid $3.1 million for the right to air two spots promoting its Internet services during the 2005 championship game.
Even before the game, the ad was heavily publicized because it was the only spot that dared to poke fun at the previous year’s halftime “wardrobe malfunction,” which sparked a federal crackdown on broadcast indecency....

PinnacleSports.com...an online gambling firm based in the Netherlands Antilles, has even begun offering betting odds on the 2006 Super Bowl commercials. Odds are specific to which 2006 Super Bowl Commercial Will Win USA Today’s 18th Annual Ad Meter Poll....
PinnacleSports.com does not include the GoDaddy.com spot among its odds, however, they do include an option "Field" which would count any commercial not specifically listed with odds set at 6 to 1 (or win $6 for every $1 wagered).
GoDaddy.com continues to expand, announcing this past week it has opened a new Office of Government Relations in Washington. "As the world's largest domain name provider, responsible for more than 11 million domain names, Go Daddy feels an obligation to protect our customers and represent their interests," said Bob Parsons, GoDaddy.com founder and President. "It's an obligation we share with lawmakers and federal officials, so it is important that we be in Washington, as a base of Internet knowledge for Capitol Hill, the Executive Branch and Federal Regulators."
