Pro-Hillary Group Running False Ads in Texas

FactCheck.org just busted the Hillary campaign running a false ad in Texas. In the ad the narrator says Barack's plan won't cover 15 million Americans while Hillary's would cover every American. The source for the stat is a 2/14/2008 article on FactCheck.org about the two candidates health plans. FactCheck.org have said, "we quoted independent experts who predict that Obama's plan would leave out 15 million or more who would choose to go without coverage, but we also said that even Clinton's mandate "would leave out a million people or perhaps more, depending on how severe the penalties would be for those who don't comply.""

Small stuff, but you think these guys would be careful enough not to stir up bad press like misquoting a fact based resource.
