Obama wins the growth counties

Here’s a map that says everything about how Barack Obama won Florida, and all that blue should make Republicans nervous. The map does not reflect the counties actually carried by Obama or John McCain, but rather where each party improved their showing from four years earlier.

Basically, McCain-Palin gained ground in low-population, rural counties, while Obama-Biden increased their wins or cut their losses almost everywhere else.

This will set the stage for a possible run by Alex Sink for Governor in 2010 and a shift in control of the Legislature because of many Republicans facing term limits and the abysmal, calculated refusal by the party to represent the people. There are too many people angry with these thieves and intend on ousting every last one of them.


Florida is emerging from its abusive relationship.
