I saw it live, and he definitely misspoke...multiple times.

Knowing that McCauliffe is nothing more than a Clinton lackey who learned at the feet of Bill and Hill, had he not been called out on this, he never would have issued a correction. For the Clinton political machine, it's about spoon feeding the ignorant masses with whatever drivel they think will benefit them politically, and to perpetuate the myth for as long as possible. McCauliffe probably would have gotten away with it if his last name was Clinton.
