And yes, Virginia is a Southern state.
Not anymore. It's more of a mid-Atlantic state now and in the last two elections it voted almost exactly as the nation.
Virginia has nothing in common anymore with South Carolina or Mississippi.
What about Florida, LITERALLY THE MOST SOUTHERN STATE IN THE NATION? It's not much more R than VA is. Geographically and culturally, Virginia and Florida and North Carolina and Georgia are all just as Southern as Louisiana, which has a Democratic Governor, something which VA barely has. Being Southern has more to do than with just politics, otherwise Florida's Miami area and Virginia's DC metro area and Georgia's Atlanta area and Louisiana's New Orleans area would count them out.
