An
Atlantic Wire column discusses the punctuation used in Obama's campaign slogan. Should a period be used after a one-word slogan? Alternatives to the period might carry different connotations:
Forward!
Forward?
Forward ...
You can read the rest at the link, but what caught my eye was a sentence in the final paragraph:
Whomever is right and whomever is wrong, you have to give the Obama campaign credit for one thing, at least: They did spell the word right.
The boldfaced phrase seems wrong. It's neither the subject nor the object of the sentence, but my instinct is that each "whomever" should be replaced by "whoever." Can someone offer a definitive pronouncement here?
