McCain Won 85 of 100 of America's Fastest Growing Counties

Politico reports:
The broad sweep of Barack Obama’s victory included significant gains in some of the unlikeliest places — the nation's fastest-growing counties.

Four years after George W. Bush underscored the Republican dominance of these places by winning 97 of the 100 fastest-growing counties, Obama won 15 of them in 2008 and dramatically scaled back the GOP's margin of victory in many more, according to a Politico analysis of unofficial election results in the Census Bureau’s 100 counties that grew the fastest between April 2000 and July 2007.
What better proof than this that the Republicans still are doing more than quite well in growth areas? Politico is rather sunny in their Obama observations,but the facts are the facts.For McCain to have won 85 of 100 is astounding.
