"While Obama draws support from 95% of Virginia Democratic voters, Romney is backed by just 81% of voters in his own party."
Standard crosstab caveat, but that surprises me somewhat. I'd expect Romney would be a good fit for VA Republicans (socially conservative, economically moderate, hawkish).
Republicans, one must recognize, have become so homogeneous in their political views that it is easy to establish an agenda that fits nearly all. When they have a choice they will not select a philanderer, a drunk, or a crook -- but they will choose any of the three over any liberal in the general election.
