I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."<< So according to his speech there are 58 states, he hasn't been to Alaska yet. I am so glad we are going to have a President who knows his geography so well. Even thinking their are 58 states, he is smarter than our sitting President though.

I've long defended John McCain for saying al Qaeda is conspiring with Iran - he obviously knows the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, but that one was pretty bad too. And neither of these errors come any where near claiming to be under sniper fire when it's really a nice happy celebration :)

Perhaps if he'd exaggerated more, something like "I guess I've visited 85 states at this point," it would have been more obvious. I think most people know how many states there are.
7	WilliamK99 Mon 5/19/2008 8:31a	Nice try Dabob, but he has already said it was due to fatigue... and watching the youtube clip, he wasn't exagerating. http://latimesblogs.latimes.co...c-o.html
