Most of the blue was Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and liberal Richmond and C-ville. Shenandoah Valley was almost all red, and so was most of the other Virginia. I remember when Fake Virginia was real Virginia, and people didnt look at you funny when you ordered a sweet tea in the restaurant.

Here's one that breaks down the 2008 presidential election by locality. The facts don't support your statement that President Obama won solely because of votes from Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia. The fact is, had President Obama not won the support of localities outside of these areas, he would not have carried the Commonwealth. What's more interesting is that you would dispute the facts almost a year after the polls closed. http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/states/virginia.html Maybe you should look at the map.

The majority of people in Virginia live in Northern Virginia or Hampton Roads. That controlled the vote. If you look at the map- most all the Shenandoah Valley was red for McCain most counties were too. Obama did not carry all parts of the Commonwealth, save for Richmond.

This is a great blog. I just wish I would have thought of the name "Fake Virginia" instead of "Groveton's Virginia". Last Friday I attended the NVTC Governor's candidate conference. It was pretty interesting. It seems that the "Fake Virginia" has become important to every candidate except Creigh Deeds. Maybe the Dems and Reps are finally looking at the population density maps.
