By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor Labour's new election guru David Axelrod has gaffed after spelling the leader's name wrong. The former Obama aide wrote on Twitter that he had enjoyed a 'visit with @Ed_Milliband' apparently unaware that the leader's surname has only one 'l'. To add to the blunder it also emerged Mr Axelrod, an expert in modern campaigning, is following a parody Twitter account instead of the real Mr Miliband. Blunder: US election guru David Axelrod tweeted after meeting the shadow cabinet, but spelt the Labour leader's name wrong Spot the difference: The gaffe was quickly deleted, and replaced with this tweet with the correct spelling
