I've always considered Virginia to be a part of the Mid-Atlantic. I think people get to hung up on Union v. Confederacy when designating modern regions. Some of the old Civil War lines still exist culturally and politically but its been 140 years and some things have inevitably changed as well. As a result I really don't think you can lump the entire ex-confederacy into one region anymore. I will concede that some states can be difficult to place though because regional lines could run directly through them or because certain states may be too unique or diverse to pigeonhole them into just one region.
I think the Census sub-regions are pretty accurate though:
