     OH & VA were the real bellwethers here. They voted almost exactly the national average.

Virginia wasn't a bellwether for Clinton's elections.
Ohio has a better track record, but they're just too Republican in some elections, like 1960 and 2000.

Today's VA would have gone to Clinton easily in 1992 and 1996.

     Yeah, VA has changed a lot in recent years. OH could be a viable candidate for the "official bellwether" though. That aside, I wonder where Goldenboy is. Grin
