Typo in our favor: Romney 37.65%, R Paul 28.81%, Santorum 23.81%

Looking at Google News the US and International media is calling it a tie between Paul and Santorum, with a small minority acknowledging Paul did place second and misquoting the 1% margin he placed second by as .4-.5%. I guess we have Associated Press to thank for that.

There was one outlet that had a typo in our favor though (link):

Final results in Washington state caucuses: Romney 37.65%, R Paul 28.81%, Santorum 23.81%, Gingrich 10.28%, Undecided/Other 3.44% - @NBCNews

They have 4 million Twitter followers and their headlines are syndicated to hundred of other outlets.

HA!

Good to mention this. Because there have been many typo's going the other way for Dr. Paul in the past!

I'm also guessing there's more like this that we don't notice because..... well same reason I notice more uncalled fouls on the Hawks than against other teams.

This doesn't really help Paul though. We need to win in not a type. And it can still happen.

My dyslexic fingers mess things up things all the time, but it hasn't changed my opinion that things are so rigged, that people will play the game being presented to them.
Nor has this ability to hit the wrong key disuaded me from the belief that nothing is as it appears.

If this was the other way around we'd all be shouting conspiracy...

Probably because it only happens the other way around 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the time, which is far more than can be written up to "honest mistakes".

I think they meant to make the typo against our favor, but someone messed up. lolzzzzzz. why do typos always affect Ronnie.

Someone should compile data and compare the # of errors each candidate gets in the media.

They clearly aren't honest mistakes, but we're just playing into their hands by shouting conspiracy all the time.

It scares the softies off...

Some things actually are as they appear.
