15 minutes of fame




Who is Jason Palmer? Some dude who defeated Joe Biden in the Democratic primaries in a territory that doesn´t even vote in POTUS elections and only has 6 delegates at the Dem convention. Three of which went to Biden anyway. 

Yes, the territory in question is American Samoa. Only 91 people voted in the Democratic Party primaries. 51 of them for Palmer. Probably because he actually campaigned before the caucus (through zoom), whereas Biden did nothing. 

In 2020, American Samoa was the only territory won by Michael Bloomberg in the Democrat primaries, so they certainly have a tendency to vote in unexpected ways. Sure wonder what super-rich Bloomberg promised them back in the day? A new playa?

This news item will be forgotten forever tomorrow morning. Even on Samoa...
