Some background info:

1980: 91% white
2000: 37% white
2006: 20% white

1984: 73% Reagan
1988: 65% Bush
1992: 41% Bush
1996: 37% Dole
2000: 33% Bush
2004: 29% Bush

How do you think it will vote in 2008? Could a shrinking white population and high black-turnout push this county towards 80% Obama?

Of course. It's around the airport I think. You  don't get these kind of rapid demographic shifts in rural counties.

Are you sure about that? Hispanics have taken over Adams County, Washington, though they don't vote in significant numbers.

Ya, there are some rural counties loaded now with Hispanics. I don't know how many of them are legal.
