Andy just sent me a note asking whether we should fix the headline to the Obama press release that I posted below which said, “OBAMA TO MAJOR DELIVER SPEECH IN INDEPENDENCE, MO.”
I plead guilty to posting it without, amazingly enough, noting that it was gibberish. But I did correct another error in the Obama press release which said that, “Senator Obama will discuss what patriotism means to him and what it requires of all Americans who loves [sic] this country…”
Bottom line: I’m not sure what to do when it comes to editing and correcting statements coming out of the campaigns. Sometimes it seems reasonable, as it did at first glance today, to fix errors, and sometimes it may reveal something about the sloppiness of the campaign.
