Before this last election, I would have agreed with you. However, Virginia's transformation to a Blue state can clearly be seen in the fact that both Loudoun and Prince William counties voted for Obama, and in healthy numbers.
(Oddly enough, Henrico County went Blue as well, which must send shivers up Cantor's spine.)
Both Northern Virginia and Tidewater, the state's population centers and economic engines have become reliably Blue. The RoVA is largely irrelevant, thought I do have a soft spot for C-ville and the Peoples' Republic of Albemarle, for obvious reasons -- no, it's because that's where The University is. Now, if only Montgomery county Va. would flip back.
