First, I want to thank JFern for the list.
Second, I find it interesting how everyone had tiptoed around the fact that the population mix in the overwhelming majority of the counties is 'third world.'
Third, I find it even more interesting that NO ONE has noted how that list of 'counties' differs in population growth rate from the nation. Of the 100 'counties,' 18 grew at a rate as fast or faster than the nation (2000 -2003) while 32 grew at a rate slower than the nation, and half (50) had a net decline in population!
What this means is that with ensuring redistrictings, if this trend continues, Democrats will lose seats in State legislatures and the House of Representatives.
