Meg Whitman Twitter FAIL Becomes Youtube Sensation
Found via the LA Times comes this cautionary tale of campaigning in the age of Twitter.

But, in a twist of fate that might just launch the career of an unwitting bass virtuoso, a single "r" left off the link sent the user to the following youtube video.
As of now, there is no word as to whether the musician in question has endorsed a candidate in the Goveor's race.
