I am a little curious and since you seem to be avoiding it, shockingly, what is the difference between this and McCain not knowing how many houses he has. I'm pretty sure they both know the correct answer to the respective questions, but for whatever reason didn't answer them at the time. And, while you are at it, why did Bush's obvious inability to complete a coherent sentence not prevent you from voting for him? What am I missing?

the different is obvious. McCain didn't answer the question about the number of houses he owns incorrectly, he simply said I'll check with my people and get back to you. My guess is he wanted to avoid giving an incorrect answer that would be shoved down his throat later. It was a political gaffe for sure, and the Dems tried to make some hay with it.

Obama got his religion wrong, which seems inconceivable. I guess he does know the answer but for a guy that is supposed to be such a genius it seems odd, not consequential in the grand scheme of things but odd. Why did Obama say he had been to 57 states? how in the world is it possible to say that and not realize the mistake the moment you say it? He didn't.

Why vote for Bush over Kerry or Gore? Well because even though he mangles the language I preferred him over the other two who came across to me as ego driven repulsive blowhards. Not an enthusiastic vote but there wasn't much to choose from.
