Ooooooooooops!

MANCHESTER -- The New Hampshire Union-Leader is wiping egg off its face. Two minutes after sending out an email alert reporting that ABC News called the Dem race for Barack Obama, the newspaper sent out a CORRECTION saying ABC had instead called the GOP race for John McCain.

Ooooops. Big time.

Reached by phone, Union Leader VP of New Media Charlie Perkins said: "The Obama alert went out in error." Asked about the nature of the error, Perkins simply added, "it was a production error."
