Yea it SOOOO cost him the election that he lost by a WHOOPING 100K votes.

Thank god Canadians know our history so we dumb Americans dont have to![/quote:fe6c6]

he still lost, and his apperence may have been a factor in that loss, therefore it cost him the election...

many Canadians do know alot about US history, we learn it in school from an early grade, often our version of US history is a general schematic of the history as a nation, with less focus on individual state histories, and regional lore... I understand that most US schools make an effort to spend more time on state/local history, effectivley making the US education more whole in terms of US history... Canadians don't really think Americans are dumb, but often I think Canadians think Americans are less critical, but probably they are wrong...
