David Frum recently left NRO (see New York Times story, seeded here, and Frum's NRO blog), not long after Chris Buckley's departure and endorsement of Barack Obama.
He announced the upcoming group blog New Majority, which is scheduled to go online over Inauguration Weekend:
I want to assist in that conversation. Starting over Inauguration Weekend, I'll be launching a new website, NewMajority.com. It will be a group blog, featuring many different voices. Not all of them identify as conservatives or Republicans. But they - and people like them - are the people conservatives and Republicans need.
but alas, seems that he either did not check whether the domain is available, or perhaps Frum is aware that the domain name is not available, but decided to announce the URL anyway before securing the rights to it?
Here is the WHOIS entry:

One wonders whether the general lack of web-savviness among US conservatives is a reflection of the flight of younger generations from it, or something else entirely. It's not that long ago that blogs such as Meghan McCain's did not have RSS feeds. Ann Coulter still did not have one.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It doesn't look like it was squated. The domain was registerted in 2004.

the domain is for sale. He can secure it.
What is surprising is that he did not do a domain search to find a name that is not owned already.
