They're not interested in Florida? I know of at least five airports there they serve (their route map seems to suggests six?), and many of those are served from multiple hubs seasonally too.
Offhand, I'd bet there are very few states (that aren't home to an AS hub/focus city) who receive more, especially if we're just talking mainline service.
