Pacific Islands vs. Deep South: Which Matters More?

It's no secret that Tuesday saw some big GOP primary shakeups, if you understand the word "shakeup" to mean — as I do — that everything went more or less predictably.

In other words, Santorum topped the polls in deeply conservative Alabama and Mississippi, whereas Romney won in the notoriously liberal, apparently-eligible-to-vote Pacific islands of American Samoa and Hawaii.

Which leads me to wonder, which elections were more important? Let's see how they stack up…

Pacific Islands	Deep South
* Popular tourist destinations.	* Get out while you still can.
* Offer a wide array exotic and delicious foods.	* Grits.
* President Obama was born in Hawaii.	* No he wasn't!
* Movie "Pearl Harbor" depicted historical events taking place there.	* No "Pearl Harbor." So, hey, there's that.
* Voted for a winner.	* Voted for this guy.
