Besides the shortage of delegates and electoral votes, small-staters suffer from other handicaps that do not afflict the Governors of New York, California and Michigan. With their modest personnel budgets, they cannot readily afford the large staffs necessary to put a politician in the spotlight and keep him there.

Summer School itself is not overly expensive: registration costs $25, each half-course is $165 (the usual load is two half-courses), and the fee for auditing varies from $20 to $110 a course, depending on the rest of the program.
