Is Our Campaign Flacks Learning?

If you read the Drudge Report or watch cable news, you couldn’t have missed the spelling error that (literally) hung over Hillary Clinton’s speech to Silicon Valley bigwigs this week:

Hillary campaign misspells "tomorrow"

Whoops! But wait, have you checked the front page of the RNC’s website, GOP.com, today?

GOP.com misspells "strengthen"

To be fair, a website is not a high profile media event. On the other hand, it is the party’s official site, and the rightosphere certainly notices the DNC’s page, Democrats.org, when they make mistakes.

The Clinton team’s error strikes me as a full-fledged spelling error — “tomorrow” is frequently included in lists of commonly misspelled words. The RNC’s error appears to be a case of typing too fast — look at your keyboard: the letters G, H and T are pretty much all in the same place.

I don’t know what it all means, but I do know I checked this post for typos before publishing.
