posted by on February 5 at 19:46 PM

As Pago Pago goes…

A record 285 caucus-goers voted in a hotel in Pago Pago, American Samoa. They gave Clinton 163 votes and Barack Obama 121, with one going to former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel.

The result gives Clinton two more national convention votes and Obama one.

What about Puerto Rico? They have more people than a lot of states- do they have delegates?

Puerto Rico's primary is June 7th. 63 delegates -- more than Colorado, fewer than Tennessee.

DC has around 40 delegates, not zero. This isn't Congress.

OK, it's not 40 -- I can't find a definitive answer. But it's not zero either.

DC has 37 delegates and they go 2/12. Obama will slam there.

The Samoan delegation may be few, but it certainly won't be small.

Someone voted for Gravel?

You notice none of them voted for McCain/Huckabee/Romney? There must not be any Republicans in Pogo Pogo.

I'd rather be voting in Pago Pago than in Fremont...
