New Video - Furse to Oppose the War?

In one of Gordon Smith's TV ads, Elizabeth Furse says Smith was, "one of the first to stand up to George Bush" to end the Iraq War.

The Truth: 156 members of congress opposed the Iraq War while Smith was backing George W. Bush.

Furse says she was "wrong" and that she "misspoke" in the ad.

Smith says that it's not true and defends the ad as accurate.

The question is... who's right?

Furse or Smith?
