[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything re Blue Virginia but people in NOVA live in a serious bubble and seem to not comprehend that the rest of Virginia doesn't live or think like NOVA.

Virginia, IMO, has always been purple, moderate. I was born and raised in Richmond, I have extended family all over Virginia (from Martinsville to Surry to the NN). I have lived up here for 20 years now. The average Virginian is a decent, nice person who cares about their family, their neighbors, their community and the world in general. They live by doing what they think is right. They are not extreme, on either end. They don't like policies or things that are severe. They are not crass, or showy and are not attracted to politicians who are (like Trump).

Virginia is socially center left (live and let live) and fiscally center right. Today I would consider myself what we used to call a GDI (god damn independent) because the term moderate these days seems to have negative connotations in NOVA. [/quote]

A third of Virginians live in northern Virginia. That's a big bubble.[/quote]
