What Is Up With That?

What Is Up With That? In a moment of masochism, I checked out Politico’s Superdelegate page. Here was something that struck me: American Samoa has six superdelegates; Arizona has eleven. That’s right. Arizona has nearly 90 times as many people, but barely gets twice as many supers as American Samoa. American Samoa has about 67,000 people, a bit fewer than Apache County. A couple of things can skew the number of super delegates. For example, a state that elects more Democratic congressmen will have more superdelegates. This is why, for example, New York has so many more supers than Texas, even though Texas is larger.
