Talk about your "push-polls"! LOL! It isn't on your list, but I'll vote 52. Cuba and Puerto Rico will finally join the Union.

Cuba?

You'll see Puerto Rico, Guam and the US Virgin Islands become states long before Cuba...

(Seriously... where did you get Cuba???)

There will be 57 because Obama said so. The media will make it so.

Well he said he had been to 57 and had 3 to go during the campaign!

There is small probability that Quebec may secede from Canada and become a US state in a few decades.

It was just a publicity stunt to garb the spotlight - and it worked!

Something magic about that number.

You think he just pulled that number out of thin air?

Ask John Kerry if that number made HIS life.

No president wants that kind of publicity. Come to think of it he may have been thinking of Kerry or he didn't have his teleprompter to tell him how many states we have.
