Scarborough & Guest Debate Idea of 17% Lead as 'Real Toss-up' in NY-23rd Race

Newsbusters: Mike Allen, appearing on Morning Joe, has declared the NY-23rd race a “real toss-up” despite a new poll from a respected organization showing Doug Hoffman with a 17-point lead.



The claim by Allen, Politico’s chief political correspondent, was so absurd that, on the spot, host Joe Scarborough offered 3:1 odds to Allen and anyone else wanting to place a few kopeks on Dem Bill Owens.
