"Those who are going to be over 21 on November 12th, I ask for your support..."

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) wants to be president, but he just can�t remember when the election is or how old you have to be to vote.

At a campaign stop at St. Anselm College Institute of Politics Tuesday, Perry didn�t seem to know that Americans become eligible to vote at the age of 18, and that the 2012 presidential election will be held on Nov. 6, 2012.

�Those who are going to be over 21 on November 12th, I ask for your support,� the candidate told students. �Those of you that won�t be, just work hard. Because you�re� counting on us.�

Following the event, Perry spokesman Mark Miner dismissed the error, saying �the governor misspoke.�
