I think he was going to say 50 states and then was corrected by his staff and meant to say 47 after being corrected.

AP meeting April 14th:
And I’ve now campaigned in 47 states, actively. And I think South Dakota is the last state that I have not had a campaign event in.
Now that doesn’t mean that I expect that I will win all 50 — or 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii — all 50 states.
Finally someone draws the obvious conclusion about this silly episode. We really should be going after Obama for his Marxist belief system and let this little stuff burn up less Freeper-Energy.
