Carson seems to be mapping out a strategy of putting out strange maps.

He found Obama's 57 states,

Must be one of the "experts" Ben hired since he know's nothing himself.

This map is good for ****s and giggles and cheap digs but otherwise is of no consequence.

While I would like to make fun of Carson about this, it is just common knowledge that most Americans are geographically stupid.

Doesn't Dr. Carson's campaign vet its workers for stupidity?

What a stupid thread.. the obvious reason for the stretch is to show the states to find them... most times they draw a line to the tiny weeny area an show what state it is.. they now have a map that one can see their state easily..

Someone needs to get a job to nitpick why the map is stretched.. to see the tiny weeny states visually.

It's not stretched, the states are not properly located, and the entire Canadian/American border in that area is re-drawn.

That said, this was some staffer who was geographically challenged, and whose work was not properly checked out.

It's funny, but at the end of the day it's irrelevant.
