Shhh! You're ruining his latest "comeback week". Haven't you heard Perry has big mo now? He's on a surge and will hit 6% in the polls any day now. ;-)

I rate this one worse than the "57 states" gaffe. We've never had 57 states, unless Obama arrived in a time machine from the future. But we really did have a "21 year old" voting barrier...40 years ago. I genuinely think Perry was not aware that the voting age had been lowered to 18 nationally until his aides informed him.

“But we really did have a “21 year old” voting barrier...40 years ago.”

Yeah, but 40 years ago Perry was already 21 and eligible to vote so maybe he didn’t notice.
