Danville, North Carolina?
I knew the state of North Carolina was expanding but I only thought it was expanding its population. According to the Vice President of the United States, the esteemed Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr., North Carolina has now annexed the south-central Virginia city of Danville and made it part of the Old North State.
The mapmaker who made the map below clearly shows Danville to be in Virginia. He or she must not have taken their cartography training from the Vice-President and is clearly wrong because Joe Biden doesn't make mistakes.
I think it's a little more disturbing that the crowd cheered so loud at that. If I were at a rally where that kind of blunder was made, I know I'd be turning to Sebastian and laughing!
Not that Mitt doesn't also make gaffes. I would have loudly cheered and screamed in his most high profile one - introducing Ryan as the next POTUS, but not because I wasn't paying attention or felt the need to cheer because it's just an applause line. :)
