You will not persuade me they are "southerners" that voted for Obama twice. Look at the electoral map. Their demographics have changed considerably since 2004.

I edited despite my personal belief that Virginia is not the south.

From what I've seen, most of Virginia is damn proud of being the capital of the Confederacy, although Virginia Beach, where I'm sitting, is definitely a lot more progressive.

By the way... went to the Fredericksburg battlefield the other day... I can see why Confederates of the time thought Northerners had no common sense. What a sad disaster.

Pre-Obama, I believe VA was the only Southern state to vote Republican in every presidential election since LBJ.

Poor decision making does not a geographical area make.


I mean, ND voted for Romney - are they Southern?

I've lived in VA and MD. NOVA does not represent the south. It's more like a suburb of the Northeast, with all the transplants from New Jersey and such. Southern VA is clearly still the south. The simple solution is to move the Mason-Dixon line to somewhere just south of D.C.

New Orleans really isn't "the South"

neither is South Florida

There are plenty of areas within the South that are different, it doesn't mean they aren't part of the South

Most of the geographical area of Virginia is culturally southern

Exactly, the area right around DC.

Other than that, the entire rest of the state, is Southern...

As someone who is from Virginia, this statement is very true. Northern Va is where yankee douchebaggery (is that a word?) begins. Norfolk area is all navy and rednecks. BTW all the festivals at waterside suck nowadays.
