Certainly not. They typically vote Republican.

I'd be more shocked if California and New York voted republican.

Not really. I think they'll both be close either way. I might be mildly surprised at VA, they're trending Democratic, but I'm sure it'll be a few more election cycles before VA's electoral votes are a gimme for the Democrats. NC seems to be trending that way too, but it's going to take longer.

With how populated Northern Virginia is these days and how much more liberal that area is compared to the rest of Virginia. I wouldn't be surprised to see the state go blue more often than not.

NC wouldn't surprise me. The state is trending Democratic, but not quite there yet. VA can be won by the GOP, but its unlikely and it would surprise me. It isn't gone yet, but headed that way.

That is the question. President Obama lost NC in 2012, and won Virginia, but he won the Electoral college in a landslide. Meaning, President Obama could have lost Florida, Ohio, and Virginia and he still would have won the Presidency. So yeah the question is for the Democratic nominee will winning either of those states prevent that nominee from winning the election.

i see it as the complete opposite, that VA is the dem lock and NC is going the other way or split.

VA voted for obama twice and elected a dem governor with the opponent spending all of his time on obamacare.


NC went for obama once and will probably get rid of hagan

It wouldn't surprise me either way in Virginia and will be dependent on how strong the NoVa turnout is compared to the rest of the state. North Carolina is another matter and it depends on the candidate
