| Description | You might say Rick Perry courted the youth, but not the whole youth, in a campaign appearance at a New Hampshire college.
Speaking at Saint Anselm on Tuesday, he appealed to students who will be at least 21 before Election Day to vote for him, saying: "Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote."
As for those younger than 21, he merely asked them to work hard on his behalf. Doesn't he want their votes too?
It turns out Perry didn't know or had forgotten that the voting age in the United States is 18. |
