Obama's the most liberal president in recent memory, and a lot of his policies run counter to southern interests. There are a lot of reasons to dislike him.

Seriously? Why is Obama liberal? He hasn't pushed gun control, he has brought in healthcare reform but Dems have been trying to push that for decades, he's pushed for gay marriage but thats more a reflection of society as a whole turning in that direction. What exactly makes him such a liberal to you?

Virginia's special because of its massive military population, more than any other state I believe. Virginia is pretty much the military headquarters of the whole country, what with having the largest navy base, the largest marine corps base, the largest air force base, a number of army bases, plus the Pentagon.

Doesn't it go deeper than that with Virginia though? Wasn't there quite a bit of internal conflict in Virginia over their loyaltys when the civil war broke out?
