Perdue's online snafu

Beverly Perdue will announce this fall.

But maybe the lieutenant governor won't announce that she's running for governor. Maybe she'll announce she's running for Senate — and her real name is Tom Allen.

That's one theory anyway. How else to explain the fact that a Google search of her Web site reveals this meta description: "Welcome to the Online Home of Tom Allen for Senate."

The real Tom Allen is a U.S. representative from Maine who's running for his party's nomination to face off against Republican Sen. Susan Collins in 2008.

His Web site was designed by Liberty Concepts, a Democratic-affiliated Web firm. It's likely that Perdue hired the firm, and it used a template from its work for Allen.

Or else, Perdue really is Allen...

Update: The page was fixed a few hours later.

Speaking of online snafus... any particular reason why you link to Basnight's bio instead of Perdue's?
