Oops! Not The Czar Edition

For a brief while this morning, visitors to the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog were greeted with an ad for this week’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate that instantly became a rare moment of levity in a race full of minor-candidate sound and fury:

They’re referring to Andrew Romanoff, of course. Does the Gazette crowdsource their ads to Fiverr? We don’t mean this as a slight to the underdog in the Democratic primary, though it’s true his name ID can’t match the two-time former governor. But everybody who works for Phil Anschutz, at least in this state, should know how to spell Andrew Romanoff’s name correctly. He’s been a figure in local politics for almost 20 years.

Copyediting just isn’t what it used to be, folks.
