The Atlanta suburbs are more Republican leaning. But that will change soon. Gwinnett had a 10 point swing in 8 years. Cobb had a 6 point swing. Rockdale had the most dramatic swing of all. Kerry lost the county 39-60 in 2004. In 2012, Obama won Rockdale County 58-41. Henry County had a 15 point swing between 2004 and 2012. Given the growth in Henry, it will likely vote Republican when (not if) Hillary runs in 2016.

And the Atlanta suburbs are changing for the same exact reasons the DC suburbs changed. They've had a large influx of transplants along with a lot of immigration from Latin America, Asia and Africa. It wasn't that long ago that Atlanta didn't have much of an African population. Now it's right on DC's heels (150K vs. 210K). In just a few short years, Atlanta's West Indian population exploded past Atlanta's (160K vs. 63K), and that trend is going to continue.

So that's the direction the metro is headed in.

I'd say Richmond. The architecture and the longtime black and white residents are similar.

Thanks. Go to sleep.

That's your narrow minded opinion

There is more to a city than it's racial make up and there is more to people than their race. So you are wrong. Nice try though.

Go to sleep.

Honestly, it should get you beat up no matter the neighborhood.

[DC to Mo' County]

I hate that "DMV" term, only MD and VA Bammas use it.

Not really. In fact, you won't hear Screw up here in DC (thank God).
