Paul Revere's ride: Should Sarah Palin's confusion about US History matter in a Presidential bid?
Asked by ETpro (34605)

While visiting Boston just a few doors from my house near the Old North Church, Sarah Palin told a crowd of reporters that Paul Revere rode to warn the British—He rang bells and fired warning shots. Lost is the “One if by land, and two if by sea.” Palin left out the Patriots in Concord. She appears to be standing by those confused remarks.
To be president, does an individual need an accurate understanding of our history and the birth of this nation, or will any account you wish to make up in your own mind do just fine? Is it a sign of strong character to refuse to recognize an error even when confronted with the actual facts?
