    Democrat Quiz: How many states are in the U.S.?

    Obama said 57.

    Biden claims 54.

    Such brilliance.

      What does it mean for a state to be a commonwealth?
      Nowadays, a commonwealth has come to mean any government in which all people involved have a say, or a loose formation of nations with a shared loyalty. It is also the official designation of a few states including, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia and some U.S. territories.

          Good question.

          Maybe that's what they are thinking of. State of dependency, State of the brotherhood of muslims, State of the taliban, State of Iran, State of China, Russia and the State of give-me give-me.

          I guess in that regard there could be 54 or 57 states if you exclude the 50 here that they don't give money to.

                Local college kid theoretical philosophical talk: Does the state exist soley to support the people or do the people exist to support the state?
                Smart ass me: I exist soley to get out of this state (back when I was in Texas). This wasn't "classroom talk".

                  So at the time you were in a "state of depression"?
