Palin Claims New Hampshire Is Part Of The "Great Northwest" (VIDEO)

Sarah Palin drew some boos and shouts of confusion today, when while speaking in New Hampshire she mistakenly claimed that the Granite State was part of the "great Northwest."

"I like being here," she told the crowd in Laconia, "because it seems like here and in our last rally too -- other parts around this great Northwest -- here in New Hampshire you just get it."

It's tough video and an innocent mistake, to be sure. But it certainly doesn't help the preexisting image of Palin as being intellectually incurious. For the record, she hasn't been in the Northwest for quite a while, if at all while on the trail. On Sunday, she campaigned in Ohio; on Monday in Virginia; on Tuesday in Pennsylvania; and tomorrow she is heading back to Ohio, according to the McCain campaign public schedule.

[Rapid Ray]

Dude, you owe me a keyboard. Mine's drenched in coffee after that one.

ROFLMAO

[pipp]

Oh you're such a smart girlie girl Sarah. Those huskies can not mush you out of the lower 48 soon enough....­sorry Alaska....

[amaycatbaker]

Alaska will forgive you...

[Rapid Ray]

Yup.

Hell is scheduled to freeze over November 4th.
Coincidence? I think not.

[instagladiator]

I wonder if they will even allow her back into the state now?

[osusana]

Can I get a little sympathy for Texas??? While I'm celebrating that Dubya is leaving D.C., I also have to deal with the fact that he's moving to DALLAS! Why can't he just go to Crawfish, er,,,Crawford, and let us here in Dallas County live in relative peace and quiet? Maybe he could mush up to Alaska with Sarah and cut brush up there...

[amaycatbaker]

Someone forgot to brief her that she was on the EAST coast.

[SHOPARAZZI]

lol. glitch in the teleprompter i suppose.

[instagladiator]

North, South, East or West - it's all the same as long as she locked in Disneyland.

She can keep an eye on Novia Scotia and British Columbia from there. You betcha.

[Rapid Ray]

...and those french talking, secessionist Quebec people, too, fer sure.

Joke:why did Sara Palin cross the street?cuz she could see Russia from it!

[haveitoldyoulately]

Did you expect any different from a woman who thinks she can see Russia. from Alaska. Well, maybe if she was in Little Diomede (which she has never been)

**I wonder what she's looking at, and thinks it's Russia**

[sharonh]

Vodka and zakusyvayesh.

[Rapid Ray]

They don't have maps in "her world". It might be Russia, but you never know...it could be Baltimore.

[AlabamianForObama]

There goes the McCain chances in New Hampshire! How many more states will he pull out of tomorrow.

[haveitoldyoulately]

I saw a program over the weekend that told exactly why McCain pulled out of Michigan..­..very interesting.

It has one of the highest foreclosure rates...an­d the people who were losing there houses were under the impression (they were told) if they lost their houses, they will not be allowed to vote.

[BannedInBoston]

Northwest, Northeast, what's the difference? Think of it as a kind of bipartisanship, right, Sarah?

[robbie44]

Joke:How many Sara Palin's does it take to screw in a light bulb?

[AlabamianForObama]

None... she'll have the First Dude do it!

[BannedInBoston]

It doesn't matter. The one she screws in won't work either....

[Rapid Ray]

In what respect, Robbie?

[jdmba]

Just one Sarah Palin, and we're all screwed.

[DBtv]

Stu pid est. Woman. Ever.

[biffbaff]

Not so fast - remember Paris Hilton with the buffalo wing thing and also saying Walmart sells walls. She parlayed this into dumb-bimbo millionaire hotness. Not to mention Jessica Simpson and the chicken of the sea gem.

I believe she know what she is doing if you subscribe to this way of thinking.

[Forester]

don't be naive - she is pandering to all the stupid people who will vote for our next president.

Never underestimate the shear stupidity of the average American

- there I said it.

[Mekarri]

Forester, you are right, sad but so true.

[CaliTLC]

Poor wittle Sawah, she missed school the day geography was taught.

[Forester]

You see honey, if you just try hard enough, anyone become President of the United States.

[huffyjive]

i heard she even eats with dinner with her family...j­eesh what a kook

[andvoodoo2]

And charges the taxpayers for it, even when they're at their own house. ...jeesh what a crook
