Terry McAuliffe is a joker

posted 2008.05.06 Tuesday

He just said on MSNBC that Hillary Clinton once trailed Barack Obama in Indiana by 15 points.  The RealClearPolitics archive of poll data (1) has no result in which Obama led by more than 5 points, (2) lists several more polls where Clinton led than Obama led, and (3) lists one poll from early April in which Clinton led by 16 points.

None of the MSNBC journalists called McAuliffe on this.

UPDATE (7:12pm): Keith Olbermann just brought it up to Russert, citing RealClearPolitics.

UPDATE (7:24pm): MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan just claimed that Obama led in Indiana by 7 points two weeks ago. 

UPDATE (10:27pm): Eugene Robinson just joked that Hillary might come on stage, eventually, late at night, if she holds on to a tiny Indiana victory, and claim that her campaign had come from 35 points behind.
