Obama meant to say primaries instead of states, and he corrected it.
really?
got a link?
In the Democratic Primaries we have contests in each of the 50 states. Plus DC, the US territories, Americans Abroad and Texas actually has 2 contests, the states primary and they also do a caucus that I think is just for party leadership in the state. Add them all up and it's exactly 57 primary races on the democrat side. Obama's gaffe was not that he thought there were 57 states but he referred to all of the primary districts
50 states
Puerto Rico
The US Virgin Islands
Guam
American Samoa
Washington, DC
Americans Abroad
The extra Texas Caucus
50 states + 4 territories + 1 Capital District + 1 for Americans Abroad + 1 more for Texas caucuses = 57 primary contests.
