I just saw the video now, for the first time, He said "we've been to 57 states" "Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to"

57 + Alaska and Hawaii = 59

It amazing when someone on your side of the aisle makes a mistake it is a mistake. When someone on the other side of the aisle makes one it proves they are dumb.

What it proves is how retardred people are that think Bachman made anything more than a mistake.
That's why I said I don't think this will derail her chances of winning the nomination. I actually view Bachmann as a dark horse candidate who could win because of her support from the social conservatives and tea party.

I won't comment, the quote speaks for itself.

She made the 'gaffe' twice in the same speech. That's not a misstatement, it's an exhibition of stupid.

It is irrelevant. For many republican voters, ignorance of this kind doesn't matter much. I think liberals and democrats are more obsessed with knowledge and education. But generally speaking , if education was an important factor, US presidential candidates would have been totally different.

Right, he said he had one more to go to, Alaska and Hawaii he couldn't, so he'd been to 57 states.

57 + Alaska and Hawaii + one more to go = 60

So he said 57 when he meant to say 47. This was almost three years ago. Don't you guys ever come up with anything new?

- Huckabee goes on a long description of Obama (falsely) growing up in Kenya.
Response:But Obama once said 57 states!

- Bachmann says the battles of Lexington and Concord (falsely) happened in New Hampshire.
Response: But Obama once said 57 states!

It's like you guys have "Obama once said 57 states" programmed as an auto-response to deflect any time a Republican says something ignorant. It makes those posters who do so seem desperate and lacking in creativity. Can you really not come up with anything better than an oral gaffe made on the campaign trail in some impromptu remarks almost three years ago? You guys are strange.

She made the statement twice, once during a private fund raiser and then again the NEXT DAY at another fund raising event.

Default Bachmann in NH: "You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord."

Just in case anyone still hasn't gotten the word: the woman's an imbecile.
