Mitt Romney shows how small the electorate was that gave him 34 delegates (Brian Snyder/Reuters)
Rick Santorum's
delegate haul in Mississippi and Alabama? Thirty-two, with just over 300,000 votes cast on his behalf.
Mitt Romney's delegate haul in American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands and Guam? Thirty-four, with 1,129 votes cast on his behalf (70, 104, 740 and 215 votes respectively).
Oh, and Romney also got 25 delegates from Mississippi and Alabama. He even got more delegates in Mississippi than Rick Santorum, despite Santorum winning the popular vote. But he was a little more efficient about things in the U.S. territories, getting one delegate for every 33 votes cast. In the southern states, he only got one delegate for every 10,581 votes. That's 321 times less efficient than Romney's island victories. And he spent about $2.5 million more doing it.
