Thoughts?  Demographics, geography, politics, whatever.

The area near DC has been heavily influenced by the capital and is a lot like the MD side and accounts for about one third of the population. The southern two thirds of the population (Norfolk, Richmond, Lynchburg, Roanoke) are more like NC. So the majority of VA is more like NC.

It would be interesting to see demographic and voting data for Virginia minus NOVA.

Without Fairfax, Loudon, Prince William, Arlington, and the independent cities within this area, the rest of Virginia voted 50.68% Romney, 47.70% Obama.

Northern Virginia is very much like Maryland, Southern Virginia is nearly identical to NC.

Until recently, North Carolina.  In the last few years, Maryland (and it will probably continue.)

Eh, Virginia without NOVA might be more like Tennessee or Alabama than North Carolina.

Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham have become metros almost on par with Atlanta, with lots of good universities and big banks propping up urban North Carolina's economy.  I just don't see Richmond/the  Virginia Beach area as being on the same level as that.

North Carolina before 2008, Maryland after.

I've said it many times before: Virginia is becoming less of a southern state and more of a northeastern one.
