Romney has a little geography glitch

A woman raised her hand. "Yes, please!" Romney said.

"How many counties are in Massachusetts?" she asked.

"Thirteen," he said. A few feet away, an aide shook his head and said, "Ten."

"Oh, no, I think it's 13," Romney said. "Not like your 99."

He paused for a moment. "Yeah, if you count Dukes County ... " he trailed off. "So, anyway, we have very, very few."

"Ninety-nine counties," Romney said, apparently hoping to change the subject, "Why didn't you get to 100?"

The crowd laughed good-naturedly.

A spokesman for Romney said he shortly thereafter, "corrected the record" to the right number of 14.

This is about the state he quite being the governor of in January. So glad he's not my governor anymore!!

:rofl: :rofl:

1. Does Myth know how many states we have in the US?

:rofl:

[valerief]

3. I'm sure he knows how much his portfolio is worth and that's all that matters to him. nt

[Forkboy]

2. He didn't spend enough time here to know.

He was too busy criss crossing the country on his "Trash The State I Govern Tour".

[dkofos]

5. How did he get there in the first place??

[Forkboy]

6. I think most of the state was drunk on Election Day.

We drink a lot in these parts. :D

[wicket]

13. We certainly do

:D

So glad Mittens is gone. Just hope the rest of the country isn't stupid enough to elect him.

[dkofos]

4. Another idiot repube. Just what this country needs.

And he wants to replace *ush

[Tesha]

9. And he probably knows Prime Minister Poutine personally! (NT)

7. If he had ever been doing his job here he might have known that

Instead running all over the country bashing Massachusetts.

[damntexdem]

8. I thought it was 14 (I've done research using counties).

But counties are not as important in New England as in the rest of the country.

But anything to dis Romney.

10. It is 14, with a Bonds-like *

http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=mg2subtopic&L=4&L0=Home&L1=State+Government&L2=County+Government&L3=Counties&sid=massgov2

eight of the 14 have been abolished as actual governmental entities. Confused? Two of these eight have "councils of governments" with the various towns as members. Throughout New England, most local government takes place at the town rather than the county level; Conn. counties have only civil sheriffs.

So the Ken Doll was actually closer than the aide who tried to correct him, like Dan Quayle "correcting" the schoolboy about "potatoe"...
