I was personally surprised to view the footage of the "57 states" gaffe by Obama. This clip was for all intents and purposes completely buried by the MSM. While not a significant blunder by any means, can you imagine the fallout if it had been uttered by McCain? Recall the commotion caused by his failure to correctly recount the number of homes he (and his wife) own. I can just imagine the "doddering old fool" comments that would have poured from the leftist MSM. This is supported by the interviewees' nearly unanimous assupmtion that McCain WAS the one who said it. Since Obama uttered it, however, it was a harmless gaffe simply beneath comment.<br> <br> To me, the failure of most of the interviewees to even correctly answer the simplest civics questions is more an indication that they must have watched NO media coverage prior to the election. You could have watched nothing but CNN the year prior to the election and gotten most of the factual or recognition questions such as "who controls congress", and who the current party leaders in congress are. I'm not certain those responses support Ziegler's premise as much as he would like.
