Bibb's votes today are due to the fact it's largely urban and is now majority black. Bush Sr.'s performance against Dukakis in Georgia was pretty similar against Reagan's against Mondale, and he did flip other counties in the black belt/south, so it's not quite the shock. Obviously Clinton took Georgia so it flipped then, and it was fairly close until Obama when it looks as if the increasing black population turned out (McCain won not very many fewer votes than Bush but Obama surged).
