Why is that surprising since he was the former governor of the state? I know nothing about the voting patterns of Fannin County, BTW.

Fannin is a "GOP since the Civil War" hillbilly county in Northern Georgia.
It voted against FDR in the '30's.
I find it *amazing* that a Democrat could *ever* win Fannin...

Clinton won a few counties like that in northwest Arkansas  though.

Carter's sweep of GA's counties in '76 is even more amazing given the fact that Nixon won all of GA's counties in '72.

Nixon's '72 sweep was the first time (in the C20th at least) that *anyone* had won every county in GA.
