I’ve always counted his statement as 60 states, but it is always described as “57” even here, and I didn’t think as many would get it if I said 120 Senators, since it looks too much like a natural mistake on my part.
“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon. Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? 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.”
I really enjoyed your post ... don’t know how many got it ... hopefully most ... I see I posted two responses earlier ... thought the first one hadn’t gotten through! I have been reading Free Republic for a lonnnnggggg time but just recently registered. Glad I did ... blood pressure is probably way down ... living in a blue town in a purple state is tough ... I need to be in Idaho!
