There are 2 ways to choose the delegate from the first state, then, for each of those 2 ways, there are 2 ways to choose the delegate from the second state. So, for the first two states, there are four different ways. Then, for each of those four different ways, there are two ways to choose the delegate from the third state...and so on.
