The Magic of Numbers

No, this isn't about Newton and his math fetish. Just my favorite little factoid that appeared in The Oregonian yesterday:

Population of the state of Alaska: 670,053

Population of Multnomah County: 701,986

Our county chair is Ted Wheeler. He wouldn't make a bad VP candidate, either.

There should be a law that VP candidates must come from a county with a population of more than 500,000 and a state with more than 1 million people. We've already had a VP from a state with a population even lower than Alaska's and look what that's gotten us!
