Matt Lauer did the usual ho routine where he said the lead had tightened to four points over the weekend. Fortunately, Terry MacAuliffe had a quick comeback with quotes on three other polls, among them a poll showing a 20-poind spread in favor of the Dems.
The other part that made this segment on the Today Show favorable for Dems was when each representative put forth why the voters should favor them. Poor Mehlman looked way out of the ballpark when he said Americans realized they needed the Patriot Act.
